A social festival
This festival is not just an entertainment event, but an important opportunity for redemption for the Casal Bernocchi neighborhood.
The sports field, a point of reference for young people for years, will host the entire event, transforming itself into an epicenter of culture and solidarity. The proceeds from the event will be donated to the local non-profit organization, which has always been committed to offering services and activities to children, helping to keep the community alive and active.
The organization of the festival is the result of the commitment of Marco Capolongo, artist and painter, and Manolo Pecchioli, singer and musician, with the artistic direction entrusted to DJ Master Mole. These local inhabitants, passionate about art, craftsmanship and music, have combined their skills and enthusiasm to revitalize the neighborhood through art and culture. Their aim is to create an event that not only entertains, but also promotes a strong sense of community and solidarity, demonstrating that the suburbs can be a place of great vitality and creativity.
