The 2020 Vardaman Sweet Potato Festival scheduled for November 7-14 has  been canceled. After many discussions, the Vardaman Sweet Potato  Festival Committee and the Vardaman Board of Aldermen decided on Tuesday  to cancel the festival. The cancellation includes the Arts and Craft  Festival, Pageants, 5K Run, BBQ Cookoff, Banquet, and all other aspects  of the festival. We hate to cancel the festival. However, with so many  unknowns, it is hard to start planning for the festival.
