The organizers of a multi-day festival in Tulum, Quintana Roo, last month described as a coronavirus superspreading event have issued an apology.
In a statement to CNN, the organizers of the Art With Me festival said they regretted “not canceling the event entirely.”
Numerous cases of the coronavirus were detected in both Mexico and the United States among people who attended the November 11-15 festival or had contact with someone who did.

With art installations and trancey electronic music sets that echoed Burning Man, yoga workshops and food and wine happenings, the five-day Art With Me festival drew hundreds of attendees in mid-November.
