Nancy FMG Delray Beach

In Loving Memory of Nancy Stewart-Franczak

Executive Director, Festival Management Group
December 16, 1957 – April 28, 2025

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nancy Stewart-Franczak, beloved Executive Director of Festival Management Group (FMG), who left us on April 28, 2025.

Nancy was more than a leader — she was the heart and soul of FMG. Since founding the organization in 1998, she became the visionary behind some of our community’s most cherished festivals and events. Her boundless energy, unwavering commitment, and fierce determination helped raise critical funds for more than 60 nonprofit organizations and touched the lives of thousands throughout our region.

To those who had the privilege of working with her, Nancy was a force of nature — a dynamic blend of grit and grace. She led with passion and purpose, treating her FMG “work family” with deep loyalty and compassion. Her standards were high, her dedication unmatched, and her impact immeasurable.

Nancy’s work was never just a career — it was a calling. Through every parade, every celebration, every cause she championed, she brought people together and created moments of joy, connection, and community. She was, in every way, a builder — of events, of relationships, and of hope.
