ORLANDO | GayDayS is on the move again. After initially postponing its scheduled June 2020 events to Halloween weekend due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual celebration is again postponed until June 2021.
“Our concern for the health and safety of our partners, guests, vendors, sponsors and staff is of utmost importance,” GayDayS President Chris Alexander-Manley said in a statement. “[T]he Gay Days staff has been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and the world. In partnership with our Gay Days Host Hotel, Margaritaville Resort, and adhering to the federal, state, local and CDC guidelines, we have rescheduled the Gay Days Halloween 30th Anniversary event.”
GayDayS, who announced in April that their events would be moved to Oct. 27-Nov. 2, will now host their events June 1-7, 2021 with the theme being “GayDayS Disco Inferno 2021.”
The news comes days after Universal Studios announced that it would be cancelling its popular Halloween Horror Nights this year.
One Magical Weekend and Tidal Wave, two of the groups who hold events on the first weekend in June in Central Florida every year, both announced in April that they would be postponing their events until June 2021. Girls in Wonderland, the largest women’s events group for the weekend, moved their 2020 events from June to Oct. 1-5, and have not announced if those events will go on as planned.
