Three days of events in Ragusa, starting from this Friday 21 June, to celebrate the “Music Festival”, an extraordinary event, promoted simultaneously throughout the world, to unite people of different cultures and languages through the universal power of music. This festival transforms cities into lively stages and streets into soundscapes, allowing communities to celebrate music in all its forms and share joy and harmony. This year the city of Ragusa is preparing to experience a total of three days of pure musical magic, with events scheduled for 21, 22 and 23 June in the different areas of Ragusa Centro, Ragusa Ibla and Marina di Ragusa. As many as 45 bands from all over the province for a total of over 200 artists will perform “on the street” and on the evocative baroque balconies of the city, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere. A real record of participation as artistic director Rocco Boccadifuoco explains: “It was exciting to “beat” even the big Italian cities with these numbers of artists and bands who asked to play in our city. Special thanks go to the Municipality of Ragusa, the CCN Tre Ponti, the CCN Antica Ibla and the Proloco Mazzarelli for believing in and co-financing the event, together with all the main private sponsors”. It will therefore be a continuous celebration among notes, alleys, balconies of historic buildings. “We are sure of a large presence of music lovers of all ages and we are already recording many presences of people who are thinking of spending the weekend of June 21st, 22nd, 23rd in our beautiful province,” explains Marco Guastella of Sicilia Event , organizer of the 2024 Music Festival. In support of the event, many sponsors who helped in the promotion also with dedicated photographs, symbolically holding musical instruments. Same method also by the municipal administrators of Ragusa, who pleasantly, as done by the mayor Peppe Cassì, the municipal councilor for the historic centers Giovanni Gurrieri and the president of the municipal council, Fabrizio Ilardo, posed for a photo invitation to the city. “After immersing ourselves in books last weekend – commented the administrators – we will now immerse ourselves in music with three days that will embrace the historic centers and the coastal strip. Thanks to the organizers but above all to the many artists who will perform, giving music and emotions.”
