The EcoFesta returns: ten days dedicated to music and ecology
This initiative began in 2001, as a protest against the building of the incinerator in Caronno Corbellaro. Since then, it has been an environmentalist symbol. The party starts on 25 April.
2001-2013: Thirteen years of the EcoFesta, the event that began at the height of the environmentalist protest to save the green hill of Caronno Corbellaro. Over the years, the EcoFesta has grown, involving associations, schools, authorities and lots of young people, but it has never forgotten its origins. This year, too, from the evening of 25 April, the EcoFesta returns, and in great style.
Good food, great beer, concerts, shows for all ages, a walk and an evening dedicated to the future of the Olona Valley. All of these activities will take place, with care, to create as little impact as possible on the environment. Let’s have fun, and a party, but let’s be responsible. And no eco-party would be without plates made of Mater-bi (the compostable plastic made from corn starch), waste collected separately as much as possible, thanks to the service provided by the members of the association, multiuse carafes, which can be taken home and reused, lighting and a stage that have low-energy consumption, water in jugs, and beer from the Poretti brewery, which is produced locally, and pumped without gas.
From 25 April to 5 May, the EcoFesta is back for the 13th year, thanks to the cultural association “Top-Olona”, with the collaboration of the associations Favolandia, Decervellati Teatro, Legambiente and with the support of the Town Council of Castiglione Olona, of the RTO Park and of COS (Castiglione Olona Services).
The proceeds, minus expenses, will be given to the infant school “Don Giulio Motta”, in Gornate Superiore. On 2 May, at 9 pm, at the Monteruzzo Castle in Castiglione Olona, Legambiente Lombardy are organising a public meeting for the EcoFesta, about the future of the Olona Valley and of its protected areas: “The Olona, from industrial river, to river park”.
