The Blue Grey Army, Inc., will not host the Olustee Battle Festival February 12-13, 2021.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the Executive Board of the Blue Grey Army, Inc., at a meeting held on Wednesday, September 23, 2020, voted to postpone this year’s Olustee Battle Festival scheduled for February 12-13, 2021.

Board Chairperson, Tony Buzzella and the Executive Director, Faye Bowling Warren, along with the Arts/Craft/Food Chrm. Shantel Diggs, all agreed that this was an “extremely hard decision.”

Due to months of advance planning required to implement the festival and surrounding events, and without definitive information about a Covid 19 vaccine, it would be irresponsible for us to move forward as social distancing could not be adequately enforced at these events.

We wish to thank our Board members, sponsors, vendors, and the citizens of Columbia County for your support over the past 42 years. We plan to be back in 2022 and we are looking forward to your involvement at that time.
