Winter festival: organizers demand rules for opening steps
Culture
The organizers of the circus festival Winterfest in the Salzburger Volksgarten demand from the concrete specifications from when events are allowed again and which rules apply to them. The circus festival was supposed to start on December 9th.
At the moment it’s time to wait for Salzburg’s next big cultural event, the planned opening has already been undone by the lockdown. Now the organizers are in the process of rescheduling the festival if possible. However, there are currently no specific guidelines for this, criticizes Winterfest managing director Julia Eder.
“The first company will arrive on Monday, all artists are ready and looking forward to their performance in Salzburg. To do this, however, we now need quick clarity about the opening steps. It is important for us to know from when events can take place again, under which rules – these are the two specific points that we would like to have answered, ”demands Eder.
Lockdown is currently valid until December 12th
The organizers hope for detailed regulations at the beginning of the week in order to be able to hold the festival. The lockdown is currently in effect – also for culture – until December 12th.
