Festival Grand Marshall 2019
Oliver Hardy Festival
- The 31st Annual Oliver Hardy Festival was held on Saturday, October 5, 2019, in Downtown Harlem. There was a hometown parade, live entertainment, vendors, and food! Mr. Gary Russeth was the Grand Marshall of the day, chosen for his long-standing devotion, volunteer work, helpfulness, and general good nature in the Laurel and Hardy Museum and all around Harlem.
- It is with great sadness that we announce the 2020 Oliver Hardy Festival has been canceled due to COVID-19.
- Providing a safe and healthy experience for all those who attend and participate in the festival is of the highest importance to us. Due to COVID-19, we feel that we will be unable to ensure the health and safety of everyone.
- The Laurel and Hardy Museum of Harlem, GA, and local businesses will remain open for normally advertised hours.
- We are looking forward to hosting the 32nd Annual Oliver Hardy Festival on October 2, 2021.
