Rumour was they discussed cancelling it last week but had no solution to the mechanics of refunding tickets. 

Refunds? We don't have no stinking refunds! That word does not exist in the communist dictionary. Besides, how are you going to sell the $10 million humidor? C'mon Prez, stop playing with us. John

Well, they can still host the festival. But if you are the guest, are you brave enough to go? What if there's no fuel for the plane to return? Lol

P.S. They will charge you for a 'no show' penalty!

...Yes, better to reschedule ....and if people cannot make it, well, tough titty. 

I would just plough ahead. It is the Cuban way.

Russia has told their people to get out. Do they know something we don't?

Pretty serious move for a them with a govt they are friendly with. To me it suggests they expect conditions to worsen and believe infrastructure stability is in question. Countries are usually willing to leave nationals in uncomfortable situations if they believe the host state is stable enough. So an evacuation advisory here is them saying “don’t be here if this goes sideways". I don’t think this means Russia is abandoning Cuba though. They’ll still help at the state level if it serves their geopolitical interests. I think the next 60-120 days matter a lot. 

Hoping for the best for you down there. Hang tight and do what you need to do.
