Kedves Közönségünk!
Magyarország kormányának döntése értelmében, a világméretű egészségügyi veszélyhelyzettel kapcsolatos iránymutatásokat követve a Budapesti Tavaszi Fesztivál keretein belül idén elmarad a PONT fesztivál.
A megvásárolt jegyek visszaváltására a Budapesti Tavaszi Fesztivál honlapján lesz lehetőség, ennek módjáról és részleteiről hamarosan a www.btf.hu oldalon találhattok információt.
Köszönjük szépen a partnereink, a művészek és a közönségünk támogatását. Tudjuk, hogy mindannyian készültetek a programokra, ahogy mi is vártuk veletek a fesztivált. De biztosak vagyunk benne, hogy lesz még alkalmunk hasonló közös élményre.
Mindenkinek jó egészséget kívánunk, maradjatok otthon, vigyázzatok magatokra és egymásra!
Várjuk, hogy mielőbb találkozhassunk!
