Oatmeal Festival in Lafayette concludes after 27 years.

After 27 years of success and community involvement, the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce has announced that the beloved Oatmeal Festival will no longer be taking place. In a recent news release, the Chamber stated that their longtime sponsor, Quaker Oats, will be moving in a different direction, ultimately leading to the retirement of the festival.

According to a representative at Quaker Oats, the decision to end their sponsorship was a difficult one, but necessary for the company's growth. As a result, the Oatmeal Festival, which typically takes place in January and features a delicious oatmeal breakfast with over 100 toppings, a 5K race, and other wellness activities, will come to an end.

Although this news may come as a surprise to many, it was previously announced in 2018 that Quaker Oats would no longer sponsor the festival. However, after receiving an overwhelming response from residents expressing their love and appreciation for the event, the company reconsidered and continued their sponsorship. Unfortunately, it seems that this time, the decision is final.

For over two decades, the Oatmeal Festival has been a staple in the Lafayette community, bringing together families, friends, and local businesses. It has not only been a celebration of the town's history and culture but also a way to promote health and wellness among its residents. It will be greatly missed by all who have had the pleasure of attending.
