But the organizer citizes the “current exponential growth” of the new Covid-19 case in the city and region, as well as an ongoing public health emergency, in announcing that this festival will not occur according to plan.
“We are now looking forward to the following spring, when we will present the traditional time period,” said the organizer in the news release, adding that next year was April 29 – May 8.
