The group which for years has organised Cockermouth's Georgian Fair has decided to disband due to a lack of support.
They 12-strong organising group held a meeting recently in the hope that some new faces would offer to help.
Chairman David Cornwall said: "No one came forward to take on key leadership roles in the group and, after much deliberation, it was acknowledged that last year’s fair would be the last.
"We have enjoyed the excellent events that we have delivered since 2005, all organised by a small team of dedicated volunteers, and we now feel that we have taken the event as far as we can.
"Perhaps other people, with interests in other aspects of Cockermouth’s history, might now come forward with new ideas to organise a new and different event. The Georgian Fair organisers would be pleased to advise and support.”
The group’s annual general meeting in September will be the last.
