After moving to a new date, and then disappearing all together from the calendar, a long time Vandalia tradition will be returning this summer. Vandalia Mayor Rick Gottman has recently announced the Grande Levee will be returning for this summer, and it will be returning to Father’s Day weekend—which is June 16th thru 18th. The Grande Levee went thru a date change several years ago, moving to the fall—which brought less attendance—and then was gone from the calendar all together this past year. Mayor Gottman says he is encouraging everyone to get behind the return of the event, as he says he would like to see it return to being one of the signature events for Vandalia.
