here is the festival that will liven up via San Fermo on Saturday

Come back next Saturday Shopapemus which will liven up via San Fermo and via Borromeo with the “Flowers Shopapawer” version, the spring festival organized for the second year by the traders of the area in collaboration with Ascom Confcommercio and the department of Trade of the Municipality. The day full of events, for adults and children, will open at 10.30 am and end at 11.30 pm, music, entertainment, shows and exhibitions and the shops in the streets open for shopping among flowers and celebrations.

THE PROGRAM

The festival then returns to those stretches of road for the whole day with the first event of the current year under the banner of “Shopapemus” and the second in the floral version after the enormous success achieved among the people of Padua and not only in the first edition. This edition of the festival is characterized by particular attention paid to the theme of eco-sustainability and an initiative entirely dedicated to the female figure.
The festival, which will last the whole day, will open at 10.30 am and through a variety of initiatives, will continue until 11.30 pm with the shops open until that time and the pedestrianization of the street with the section of Via San closed to traffic. Stop at the corner of Via Martiri della Libertà up to Via dei Borromeo.
Result of the collaboration with Ascom Confcommercio e Municipality of Padua – Department of Commerce, the spring edition is made possible not only by the contribution of the sponsors, but above all thanks to the partnerships established with other commercial businesses not belonging to the Via San Fermo – Borromeo circuit. Between exhibitions, installations, drinks and tattoos, selfies and games for the little ones, distribution of shopping bags and cards from the shops on the circuit, the day also includes some particularly significant moments.

THE PERFORMANCES

At 10.30, Carolì, famous street artist, will create a mural on a wall of the stretch of road, while at 12.30 Paolo Vanin, artist-sculptor from Padua and Silvia Brazzale, dancer and performer, will stage a new and original choreographic practice: a pictorial dance performance. The carving of an ice statue will be carried out by the chefs of the Terme Euganee Association, multi-awarded international winners and absolute champions for three consecutive years at the Cooking Olympics, while the fruit baskets carved in the shape of flowers can be purchased by those present through a donation to the Gaming and Wellbeing in Pediatrics Association Odv. The festival offers gourmet food, drinks and ice cream, a beauty area where it will be possible to get henna tattoos, have your hair styled in braids or find floral crowns to wear. For fans of sustainable mobility there will be an exhibition of mini cars and bicycles, as is the flower market in the spirit of the day. Even the little ones will find fun and surprises in the space dedicated to them.
From 6.30 pm there will then be space for the music of the flower party with the live concert by Affinity and Hearthbeat. On a day at the “Shopapemus Flower edition” which characterized a period such as that of the late 60s remembered as that of the “flower children”, the award ceremony for the best hippy look is scheduled.
