The organizers of Japan Expo Paris are canceling the event for the second year in a row.

Indeed, the 21th edition of the festival dedicated to manga, Japanese culture and leisure, was to take place from July 15 to 18 in Villepinte.

Its organizers have chosen to cancel it a second time due to uncertainties related to the health context.

In a press release, the organizers explain:

“We think that we want to maintain the festival, but by reducing the number of visitors we welcome, asking you to keep a good distance from each other, and avoiding all contact, we will lose the soul of the festival, its atmosphere and therefore the very interest of making an event ”
