The Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce has postponed AtlanticFest, originally scheduled for August 8th, to Saturday, September 26th. Chamber Executive Director Bailey Smith today (Tuesday), said “With State mandates currently in place, holding AtlanticFest in August wasn’t logistically feasible.”

Smith added, “We understand how eager everyone is to get out and about. AtlanticFest draws thousands of people every year and the health of the community is our highest priority. We hope regulations will be more relaxed by late September and we’ll be able to celebrate as a community.”

AtlanticFest, presented by First Whitney Bank & Trust, has been a community staple for almost 30 years. The September event will be an updated version with new and traditional activities for community members of all ages to enjoy. More details regarding the event will be made available in the coming months.
