The Salsafestival Switzerland is discontinued. What has happened?

 

After the first lockdown in 2020 our festival location ran into economic difficulties and soon, the hotel X-TRA had to be closed down. Since the future of the event location of X-TRA was unknown and conditions to carry out another festival worsened, we started looking for an alternative  location.
 
Then, the new Swiss Covid19 law changed our situation once more.

 

A festival like our Salsafestival Switzerland requires heart and soul, long preparation time, high investments and finally depends on free international travel.

 

Due to this law, our government can enact travel restrictions, prohibit bigger events or decide on regulatory requirements on very short notice.

 

Hence important conditions to do a festival are not given anymore.

 

With heavy hearts have we therefore decided to discontinue the Salsafestival Switzerland.

 

We recommend of course to visit other festivals from outside the country or to visit smaller events in Switzerland that can still be carried out at smaller risks.

 

Bailaremos para siempre.

 

Salsaludos,
Thomas Stadler
