Fable Fest 2021 is Cancelled

Dear Cedar Park Community,

It is with great sadness that the Cedar Park Public Library Foundation has decided to cancel Fable Fest 2021.  Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding large gatherings due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and specifically the Delta variant, and after many conversations internally, our organization has come to the difficult but unanimous decision to cancel the festival for the second year in a row.

Fable Fest was scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 30, 2021. Fable Fest has been an annual community event since 2009 and normally brings together thousands of festival goers to Milburn Park for a day of family fun and entertainment. All proceeds from the event go to support the many programs at the Cedar Park Public Library, including early literacy initiatives, summer reading programs, and advanced technology needs.   

It is our honor to be responsible for such a storied tradition.  Yet, given the information available today, and the uncertainty surrounding very large gatherings, we cannot in good conscience proceed with the festival this year.  The immediate future presents multiple levels of risk for our festival attendees, volunteers, sponsors, and entertainers, and we choose the side of safety.

We realize that an event like Fable Fest plays an important role in Cedar Park. It allows us to spend time with family and friends, and to build a stronger, more resilient community. While Fable Fest will not be a part of our community this year, we look forward to its return on Saturday October 29, 2022, or possibly even sooner than that if the stars align! 

In the meantime, the Cedar Park Public Library Foundation will continue raising funds to support the Library through other means. If you would like to find out more about how you can support the Library, please visit us at www.cedarparkbooks.org or send us a message at info@CedarParkBooks.org.

We’d like to extend special thanks and appreciation to several of our most ardent corporate sponsors, including Central Texas Refuse, JE Dunn, SouthStar Bank, the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, Independence Title Company, and Redleaf Properties.

The Cedar Park Public Library remains open and is committed to providing services that support the community through all the ups and downs of the pandemic. For more information about Library programs and events, and the new Library building that is currently under design, visit the Cedar Park Public Library website at: https://www.cedarparktexas.gov/library. 

We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued support.

Until Fable Fest 2022,  

Travis Hurst

President, Cedar Park Public Library Foundation
