🚨🗣📢To Our Beloved Community,

We hope this message finds you in strength, unity, and peace. With sincere regret and a deep sense of responsibility, we would like to inform everyone that the annual Manasota Haitian Flag Festival will not be held this year, for the same reasons previously shared last year.

This decision was not made lightly, and we truly appreciate your continued understanding, support, and love for our culture and community. We remain grateful for each and every one of you and look forward to brighter opportunities ahead. Thank you for standing with us.
