The Explanation of the cancellation
We would like to regrettably announce that our first Musical and Cultural Festival, which was taking place on July 9th -July 12th, 2010, duration of 4 days and 3 nights, has been, sorry to say CANCELLED. We would like to sincerely apologies for this unfortunate disappointing announcement. We would like to explain to you all, why this happened and by whom. The festival was on the last stages of commencing, as we were stunned and shocked, with the sudden change of decision of the, Mayor of Astypalea, and the Board of Council, in the Municipality of Astypalea, to inform us that, they have re-voted against the festival happening on their island. This sudden change of decision occurred after we had met with the, Mayor and the Board of Council, and they had assured us that they were very keen and pleased to host our festival on their island. Furthermore, we had government representatives, supporting and endorsing our Music & Culture Festival. Despite all that, and the fact that, we also have and endorsement from the, Ministry of Culture & Tourism, (EOT). We were so surprised, to be notified that they cancelled our Festival!! Once again, we would like to apologies for this unfortunate announcement, but you must understand that we are as shocked, disappointed, and upset as you all are. We had all the permits and contract with all the concerned bodies to make this festival a reality, as well as, the verbal confirmation from the, Mayor of Astypalea, and the, Municipality of Astypalea. They apparently had an emergency board meeting, re-discussed the festival, and came up with different scenarios why it is not be welcomed on their island. They researched other various festivals that happened in Greece, with the crowds or situations; and the incidents during those festivals, they were concerned and implied that their hospital and clinic facilities are not enough and available for this amount of people on their island. We are so disappointed and distraught by this unfortunate sudden change of decision they took!!We would like to sincerely apologies for any inconvenience or discomfort this may have caused any of you, but we hope you understand and acknowledge our despair and regret that this occurred to our team, in which we tried to present you, and offer you, a one time experience, and the rebirth of a true Music Festival.!
