The Peitinger have to do without their beloved citizens' festival this year: Corona is again throwing the organizers through the bill.
Peiting
- The decision to cancel was not an easy one, you can see that with Rainer Hirschvogel.
In March, when other events such as the Pfaffenwinkel trade show were postponed until next year, the organizer of the citizens' festival had not yet wanted to throw the gun in the grain.
One is in the starting blocks, should the Corona situation improve by summer and allow the citizens' festival to be held, Hirschvogel said hopefully in an interview with the SN.
In fact, a light finally seems to be emerging at the end of the long tunnel.
More and more corona restrictions are currently being relaxed in view of the falling number of infections, restaurants and beer gardens are welcoming guests again after months.
But there is no guarantee that this trend will continue until July and that a citizens' festival will be possible in the usual manner.
What if the incidence value suddenly rises again, says Hirschvogel and notes with disappointment: "The situation is simply too unsafe." It was not easy for him and his colleagues to cancel the traditional event in the heart of Peiting.
“But we can't take the risk.
In the end, the clubs will have to bear the deficit. "
So Hirschvogel can only hope that the Corona crisis will be finally overcome next year and that we can celebrate together again on the main square.
"We'll definitely attack again."
