It is with sadness that the Village of West Dundee announces the formal cancellation of this year’s Heritage Fest, originally scheduled for September 18, 19 and 20, 2020.

While the likelihood of cancellation has seemed inevitable, this decision was not taken lightly. After exploring potential adjustments and options for scaling back this popular annual event, and closely following the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic in the region, state and beyond, it became clear that cancelling this year’s event was the safest and most responsible way to proceed during this unprecedented and sustained health crisis.

We look forward to the return of Heritage Fest on September 17, 18 and 19, 2021. More information regarding next year’s event will be made available at www.wdundeeheritagefest.org in the spring of 2021.

The Village of West Dundee President and Board of Trustees are committed to serving all residents, businesses and visitors to our community equally and with respect, and we insist that this commitment be reflected in the performance of every Village employee.

As a Board, we reject any act of violence or discrimination against another person in our community. The Village Board is extremely proud of the high standards established by the West Dundee Police Department and their efforts to build positive relationships throughout our community. Our Police Department has and will continue to serve our community with compassion, empathy, acceptance and understanding.

Racism is far reaching and goes beyond policing. Acts of racial injustice have no place in our society and it is our responsibility as a community to foster an inclusive environment where all people feel welcome, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or cultural background. As a Village, we strive to practice inclusivity in every aspect of service to our community, and with every interaction by our Village employees.

We pledge as Village leaders to work hard, take action and hold ourselves accountable for providing an inclusive community, free of prejudice, where we value and celebrate our differences, and raise awareness for injustices that exist in our society. Civic trust is a privilege that must continue to be earned by the Village on a daily basis. We continue to try to earn that trust and to foster a safe and equitable community.

We call upon all West Dundee residents and business owners to work toward a Village, a State and Nation in which every person is treated with dignity and kindness, acceptance and compassion.

As a Village, we recognize that more needs to be done and we look forward to working with our community and beyond in seeking solutions to the difficulties that plague our society.
