Cancelled festivals: estimating the economic and social impact

Cancelled Festivals: Estimating the Economic and Social Loss: Emmanuel Négrier, Aurélien Djakouane, Damien Potier, and Marion Vidal analyze the economic and social loss resulting from the cancellation of festivals in 2020.
The SoFEST! study, initiated and coordinated by France Festivals, is the result of close cooperation between a research team co-led by Emmanuel Négrier and Aurélien Djakouane, regional and national festival networks (the Collectif des festivals, De Concert!, and the Fédération des Festivals de Chanson Francophone), as well as regional agencies (Grand Est and Occitanie). Partners supporting the project include: the DEPS (Department of Studies and Forecasting at the Ministry of Culture), Sacem, and Crédit Coopératif.
