There are divided opinions about how the festival organizers in the county should act before this year's season.

SVT Västernorrland has interviewed several festival organizers and many are unsure.

No one knows if the government will keep its promise of vaccinations before midsummer, if the restrictions will be eased or if new directives will come.

The understanding is still high - if it does not work, it is set.

The longing for music and fellowship

Despite this, the majority are hopeful and try to think positively.

They plan and work to ensure that the festivals are arranged as usual.

- I think the need is huge and that many want to come up with something, have fun and meet friends, says Nicklas Norberg.

Sets up early

Urkult cancels 2021, after canceling last year.

They were the first to announce this of all festivals in the county.

Feels skeptical

Nipyran is leaning towards not getting rid of it, says festival organizer Michell Orto.

He does not agree with the others, and does not really trust the government's praise.

- I feel just the opposite.

That would be a miracle!
