From Sicily a message of brotherhood, in a complicated historical period on a global level. After last year’s success, the festival dedicated to folk groups “The Sicily International Folk Festival” returns. Taormina, Acireale and Letojanni will be the three cities that will host performances by folk groups from nine countries from 24 to 26 May: Albania, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Serbia. Together with these there will be a folk group that will represent Sicily.
A mix of customs, music, traditions and cultures that will delight the public; a moment of sharing instead for the participating groups, to get to know each other, create new friendships and at the same time send a message of peace. The beauty that Sicily offers is the backdrop to all this.
The inauguration will take place on Friday 24 May in Taormina, where the nine groups will parade and perform at Corso Umberto starting from 6.30pm. Acireale will instead host the second day, Saturday 25 May, where the folk groups will invade Corso Umberto starting from 8pm until arriving in Piazza Duomo, where they will perform on stage with music, dances and songs of their popular tradition. Great closing with a new show by all the participating groups and the awards ceremony on Sunday 26 May in Piazza Cagli in the seaside town of Letojanni starting at 7pm, with a goodbye until next year. A second edition whose organization was organized by the MediterraneArtè association, with the patronage of the Sicily Region Department of Cultural Heritage and Sicilian Identity and the Municipalities of Acireale, Taormina and Letojanni in collaboration with “Euroart Prduction” and “Leon Promotion”.
