The traditional Fรชte du Chรขteau, the Nice version of the Fรชte de l’Huma, has been canceled due to security requirements imposed by the state of emergency.
The implementation of the measures requested by the Prefecture for a public event clashes with the budget of the organizers, the Communist Party.
Therefore, there will be no debates or performances this year during the weekend of July 1st and 2nd: “the event is suspended,” announced departmental secretary Cรฉcile Dumas.
A real shame for this event which was in its 71st edition!
An option is being considered to relocate the event to the 109 (former Nice slaughterhouses) at the end of September.
Moreover, the trend is to organize “public” events inside an enclosed area where controls are easier to implement.
