After the Regional Council of Île-de-France announced to cut the funding of the Festival d’Île de France by 68 % from 2017 on, the festival eventually faces closure. The festival is a major cultural event in Île de France since more than 40 years, organising annually over 30 concerts and reaching an audience of 20.000 with an average occupation of 87%. The Festival asks the Region to tack back its decision and organizes a petition which can be signed here.
