Information in English
The Nordic Folk Alliance 2020 postponed due to coronavirus
As a joint decision of the board of the Nordic Folk Alliance (NFA) and the Cultural Development Administration (former Kultur i Väst) in Gothenburg, we have decided to postpone the Nordic Folk Alliance 1–2 April 2020. The reason behind is the current outbreak of coronavirus disease.
We are deeply sorry for everyone that was looking forward to visiting the Nordic Folk Alliance. We will contact delegates who have paid the delegate fee, for reimbursement.
We are currently working to get Nordic Folk Alliance back on track during autumn 2020. More information will come.
Jennie Vilhelmsson, head of unit, Cultural Development Administration (former Kultur i Väst)
