“Unfortunately, we do not have a rain date scheduled for this year’s event due to the complexity of rescheduling. However, we remain committed to bringing the joy and excitement of Groovin’ at the Gates to our community. With this in mind, we are planning next year’s event for fall 2024,” a township statement said.
“We understand the disappointment that this decision may bring,” said Anna Payne, chairperson of the Middletown Township Board of Supervisors. “The entire Board of Supervisors of Middletown shares in that disappointment and are already looking ahead to the future, where we can come together safely and enjoy all that Groovin’ at the Gates has to offer.”
