The program for the cultural autumn in October is ready. Can it take place as planned? We asked the festival director.

Geretsried - All major events until the end of August had to be canceled due to the corona pandemic. The largest city in the district is particularly hard hit, as the double anniversary of 70 years of church planting and 50 years of city survey is celebrated this year. Can citizens at least look forward to the cultural autumn in early October? Festival director Günter Wagner is confident. 

Mr. Wagner, do you think the cultural autumn can take place from October 1st to 11th as planned?

I am in good spirits. During a meeting with the mayor, it emerged that we want to stick to it. Of course, we have to wait and see what the authorities say, and I don't know if there will be a relaxation for major events in August. But you have to see: We now have two and a half months of Corona behind us, it is almost five months until the cultural autumn. That is a lot of time. I think people are happy when something happens this year. And of course the artists too.

Does that mean that the preparations continue as normal?

The cultural autumn with its 42 events in ten days is complete. We would actually be in the middle of advertising now, but that would be nonsense. As soon as we know for sure that we will continue, we will print the flyers. Then it's quick. Thanks to the nursing service, which I also run, I am always up to date anyway.

Does the uncertain situation affect ticket sales?

Up until four weeks ago, ticket sales went very well, much better than in 2018. Of course, only a few are currently ordering, but overall we are very satisfied.

Have there been requests to return tickets that have already been purchased because of the corona crisis?

Only two or three so that I could get in touch with everyone personally. If the cultural autumn is canceled, you can of course return your tickets. But we cannot take it back as long as the date is set.
