Community Gathering: Villamagna Village Festival Returns for Third Edition of ‘Al Dì di Festa’

This year too the community of Villamagna gathers around the village festival organized in collaboration with the Proloco and with the patronage of the Municipality of Bagno a Ripoli. The appointment is for Sunday 12 May, with a third edition of “Al Dì di Festa” full of events and initiatives. There will be no shortage of craft, hobby, street food, art, music and entertainment stalls. But “Al Dì di Festa” is also much more: the social and community character of the event is increasingly reconfirmed, thanks to the presence of numerous associations for civil and social rights, important local inclusion and assistance entities that promote the themes of peace, ecology, cultures, and the testimonies of organizations operating at a national and international level.
