The Selo Marketfest held in October each year has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Treasurer of the Ukrainian Fold Art Centre and Museum, Theresa Zabiaka, says that with safety top of mind, it will be too difficult to enforce public health measures.
“Our first concern is of course safety, and just recently with the outbreak of COVID-19, we know we made the right decision. It’s just so hard to keep the distance between the vendors and the visitors. We’d also have to limit the number of people coming in and it’s just an inconvenience for everybody.”
Looking ahead, she says it’s unclear when the organizations regular events will resume.
