Many events and festivals have been canceled or postponed throughout Romania due to the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, says Romania-Insider.com.
Other major festivals are scheduled for this summer, namely Untold, Electric Castle, and the Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF), and their cancelation would cost the city of Cluj-Napoca, in Romania’s Transylvania, about EUR 60 million, local Ziarul Financiar reported. TIFF, which was due to take place between May 29 and June, has already been postponed.
“TIFF has been postponed, and the organizers of the other large events are expecting May 15 (e.n. the date when the COVID-19 lockdown will be lifted in Romania). True, large-scale events are unlikely to take place given the announced and forecasted restrictions, but on the other hand, different and diverse ways of organizing these events can be found,” Cluj-Napoca mayor Emil Boc said.
“At this time, the Untold and Neversea festivals are not canceled. We do everything in our power to keep hoping that this year too we will be able to bring the joy of the festivals in the best and safest conditions,” said Edy Chereji, communications director Untold and Neversea.
