The events website is .
A link to their Protection and Hygiene concept is . It is only in German, so I've copy and pasted a quick Google translated below for anyone interested (clearly the translation isn't perfect but you get the gist).
Hopefully, this is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel and fingers crossed all goes well for their event.

They:

can.

for sure.
