On behalf of the Board of Directors of the ZONTA Club of Pascagoula Area, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by our decision to cancel this year’s festival due to the weather forecast. We know how much preparation, time, and effort our vendors, merchants, sponsors, and community put into this event, and we understand the impact of that decision.

Since making the difficult decision to cancel, our Board has met and carefully considered the possibility of moving the festival to another date. After reviewing the City’s calendar, the logistics required to produce an event of this size, and the many moving parts involved, we have determined that rescheduling the festival this year is not a practical option.

In appreciation of your support and understanding, the Board has decided that all vendors who paid for booth space for the 2026 festival will receive booth space at no charge for the 2027 ZONTA Arts & Crafts Festival. All items donated for this year’s raffle will also be returned to the individuals and businesses who generously donated them.

Next year marks an extraordinary milestone—50 years of the ZONTA Arts & Crafts Festival in Pascagoula—and we want the vendors who were prepared to stand beside us this year to be part of that celebration.

Details and instructions regarding confirmation of booth spaces and registration for 2027 will be provided soon. We ask for a little patience as our volunteers work through this process to ensure it is handled fairly and clearly for everyone.

Thank you for your understanding, your support of ZONTA, and your continued support of the ZONTA Arts & Crafts Festival. We are grateful to be part of this community, and we look forward to celebrating 50 years together in 2027.

The Board of Directors
