The festival was canceled on the night of June 18th. "Wild mint" was planned to be held in the village of Bunyrevo from June 18 to 20. A few days earlier, authorities had agreed to host Wild Mint with restrictions on spectators. They were going to let them in only if they had a negative PCR test for coronavirus, received a day before the start of the festival, or according to a certificate of vaccination against covid-19 .

The reason for the cancellation of the festival, according to the head of the Rospotrebnadzor for the Tula region, Alexander Lomovtsev, is an increase in the incidence of coronavirus and the emergence of new strains.

On the eve of the Tula region revealed 72 new cases of infection with coronavirus. On June 18, 77 new cases were reported.
