What happened to Gathering of the Vibes?
Organizers paused after the 2015 (20th anniversary) edition, then confirmed for a second straight summer in 2017 that the festival would not return to Seaside Park, citing a 'rapidly evolving' festival landscape, amid a City of Bridgeport lawsuit over roughly $500,000 in claimed debts. No festival has been held or announced since.
Reported by Patch (Bridgeport) (2017), Billboard (2015-11).
