Cancellation or Delay of the Cranberry Festival The Cranberry Festival and its organizing body, the Downtown Bordentown Association (DBA), retain the authority to modify the festival's start or end times in response to adverse weather conditions. This may include the complete cancellation of the festival or its reduction to just one of the two scheduled festival days.
The decision to cancel the Cranberry Festival for one day or entirely because of inclement weather is made with great deliberation and is not a decision taken lightly. We recognize the significant impact this has on all artists, craftspeople, non-profits, churches, Farnsworth Ave businesses and the Downtown Bordentown Association, understanding the loss of exposure and time invested in preparing for the Cranberry Festival. There will be no refunds for partial or a cancelled event.
