The Western Festival committee has decided with much regret to cancel this year’s event. The Cosumnes Community Service District and the Western Festival board have agreed that some of the deadlines set for the Western Festival have not been met for this year. Some of the processes are taking longer than in past years due to the amount of work because of new regulations.

We are asking that if anybody would like to participate in helping with this event for next year, please volunteer, please e-mail the committee and request to come to our next meeting. There are a lot of good ideas that have been discussed for this year’s event, that will continue to be part of next year’s event. There are some exciting new things that we hope will happen, we look forward to seeing you in 2026.

Thank You,

Lynden King
The Elk Grove Western Festival President

Although we won’t have the Western Festival this year, the 2025 Elk Grove Western Festival High School Poster contest is still ongoing. The deadline to turn in their entries is February 28, 2024. The entries will be judged and the winners will be recognized and awarded during the April 15, 2025 EGUSD Board meeting.
