The Peanut Fest tradition will return this year, organizers confirmed on Wednesday.

Suffolk Festivals Inc. announced the return of Suffolk Peanut Fest, offering a three-day family festival, Friday, Oct. 8, through Sunday, Oct. 10.

As with most large public events, the 2020 Suffolk Peanut Fest was canceled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. With the current easing of restrictions by Gov. Ralph Northam, Suffolk Festivals’ volunteer event planners are planning for the 2021 Peanut Fest
