NAFEST postponed ?

Well. nobody is passing it as official information as yet.

Going by the texts passing between various heads of state art councils and their friends.however, it would seem that this year's NAFEST will no more start on October 3rd as previously announced but on the 10th day of that month !

Venue remains the same.
