INVITATION

The festival aims to showcase the cultural traditions of different countries, offering participants the opportunity to form friendships and share their heritage through dance and music. It brings music to the streets and squares, making art and culture accessible to all.

The festival welcomes folk ensembles, choirs, orchestras, and majorette groups from all over the world, without restrictions on age, gender, or number of participants.

Due to the high level of interest, the event is held twice a year — in spring and autumn — with each session hosting up to 60 ensembles. Each participating group will have the chance to perform four times: a defile in the center of Diano Marina, a stage performance, a performance in the center of Sanremo, and one on the world-famous Promenade de la Croisette in Cannes.

This event is recognized as one of the most prestigious festivals in Europe and the world, featuring top ensembles from various countries.
