The Denville Rotary has issued the following statement in regards to their annual street festival.

The Rotary Club of Denville cares deeply for our community. Due to the Covid19 and for the safety of our citizens, we regretfully will need to cancel our Rotary Street Festival which was to be held on June 7, 2020. This Festival is the highlight and the kickoff to the summer season in Denville. A beautiful piece of Americana! The residents of Denville and beyond our borders have supported our efforts for so many years and we thank you. It is our Rotary Club’s main fund-raising event and we are grateful for the past support we have received. Over the years, the funds raised at this event, have been used for many community projects. We are concerned about how this cancellation will impact next years’ projects that are already in the works and will work hard in the coming months to plan new events. If you have already mailed in your check as a participant or sponsor, your check will be returned to you promptly. The Rotary Club of Denville wish you all good health! We will be very excited to see you next year on June 6, 2021 to celebrate the return of this great event!
