The event will offer a mix of entertainment with street artists and musical performances, including Amalfitano and Coca Puma, confirming its vocation as a popular and cultural festival. Oreste Acito, President of the Proloco of Altavilla, highlighted the importance of keeping local traditions alive, while seeking new forms of expression to enhance the cultural heritage of the territory.
