Despite the improvement in the health situation at the beginning of May and a deconfinement calendar that releases the constraints this summer, the America festival prefers to be careful and skip its turn for 2021. “Due to uncertainties related to the health crisis, the America 2021 festival is canceled“indicates the press release of the event. The tenth edition of the Vincennes festival was to take place in September 2020, before being canceled due to a pandemic and postponed to 2021.
Francis Geffard, president of the demonstration, explains to Livres Hebdo: “It seems difficult to us to envisage serenely the coming and the stay of more than seventy North American authors, just like the reception of thousands of festival-goers in satisfactory conditions..”
“The teams of the Vincentian event are now giving an appointment to lovers of North American literature and cultures from September 22 to 25, 2022, for the 10e editing“specifies the press release, which adds: we”We therefore prefer to mobilize now to make the 2022 festival a real celebration that will celebrate America’s 20 years and mark the 530 years of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America and of the meeting between the Old and the New World.”
