The Gloucester Daffodil Festival is planning to return in its full form in 2022, according to Debbie Wesolowski, Festival Coordinator.
An abbreviated festival was offered this year, and the event was completely canceled in 2020, as COVID-19 arrived and stayed in the community.
The festival’s theme will be “In Full Bloom,” celebrating both a full return and the history of the popular event.
