Spirit of Love Gathering


Other Half Entertainment Statement on

The Laura Branigan Spirit Of Love Memorial Gathering 2020



July 9, 2020

We at Other Half Entertainment have been monitoring the situation regarding the 2020 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19) pandemic, both around the world, and in the area around the host location in Long Island, New York.

After extensive consideration, and out of an abundance of caution with respect to the current state of the pandemic, and to ensure that the health and safety of Laura's fans remains the highest priority, we have made the decision to cancel this year's Laura Branigan Spirit Of Love Memorial Gathering event in New York. The course the virus will take and its timing is still uncertain. Logistically, whether traveling from the US or international locations, attendees as well as Other Half Entertainment staff are very likely to be affected by mandated or recommended self-quarantine policies currently in place, or those which may be implemented, for travel to New York and/or also travel back home. In addition, as Spirit Of Love is a multiple day event and our activities are primarily held indoors for two of the three days, this inherently poses a greater risk. For those of you who have paid a registration fee, a refund will be issued.

It has been our honor and pleasure to host this annual 3-day memorial gathering for Laura for the past 15 years on Long Island, New York, in the area that Laura loved and called home. Although we have enjoyed the most wonderful times remembering Laura and paying tribute to her in a myriad of ways with fans from around the world, our number one concern is and must remain, the health and safety of our attendees and staff.

We look forward to the point when we can once again hold the Spirit Of Love Memorial Gathering and collectively gather in Laura's memory. Until then, please stay safe and be well as we all navigate through these times.
