Valley parish announces it will no longer be holding its annual summer festival

A longtime Valley church parish's summer festival will not return this year.

St. Jude/Our Lady of Lourdes Festival, which first started in Columbiana in 2016, told 21 News that its annual festival has been 'cancelled permanently,' noting that the priest with the church didn't feel the festival aligned with the vision for the parish's future. 

However, the parish said it will add a new festival in the fall and will provide more information then.
