Dear festival visitors,
according to the decision of the Federal Government from 15th April 2020, all major events are prohibited at least until 31st August 2020 due to the Corona pandemic. For the first time in 31 years, we have to postpone the International Africa Festival by one year to 3rd - 6th June 2021. All tickets purchased so far will remain valid. We will try to adopt the same program for next year.
We regret the postponement very much, as we have already spent a lot of time and energy - all music groups are under contract, the programme booklet has already been printed, a lot of tickets have been sold and all food and bazaar stands have been booked long ago. Unfortunately the Corona pandemic has the world in its grip. Recently we had to learn that the great Manu Dibango, who was connected with the Africa Festival for many years, died in Paris due to a Corona infection.
As sad as the current situation is, we are delighted about the support we receive from you and our partners. In numerous comments, postings and personal talks we have received a lot of encouragement. We were especially impressed that many loyal festival visitors have already contacted us and want to waive a refund of the ticket price in case of postponement. In this uncertain situation, in which we don`t know how big the scale for the future of the festival will be, such support helps us immensely. We would like to thank you very much already now!
If you would like to support us and have also already purchased a ticket for the 32nd Africa Festival, but cannot come to the festival 2021, you would help us a lot if you would also waive a refund. Therefore you will receive a donation receipt. Please send the purchased ticket(s) with the note "donation" to the office. You can also send us your support via the non-profit foundation Africa Festival Stiftung Würzburg (https://www.africafestival.org/stiftung).
For those festival visitors who bought their tickets for our festival and want to get their tickets refunded, we would like to ask you to fill in the form which can be found under the link: https://rueckerstattung.africafestival.org/ and send it to us together with the original ticket latest until 15th June 2020. Tickets bought at other advance booking offices can be returned there.
We are grateful for any support!
We hope to emerge strengthened from this situation and to be able to give African music and culture a big stage for many years to come.
Best regards
Your Afro Project Team
