Biblofestival in Dalmine

A festival for young readers

Biblofestival is one of the longest-running and most beloved events dedicated to children and young people in Lombardy. Promoted by the network of Bergamo libraries, every spring it brings performances, readings, and workshops to dozens of municipalities in the province of Bergamo, transforming squares, parks, and libraries into places of meeting between culture and entertainment. Dalmine, an important centre in the Bergamo plain, is one of the stops on the event.

The Dalmine stop

In Dalmine, Biblofestival chooses the Dalmine Foundation, in Piazzale Leonardo Da Vinci, a symbolic place of the city's industrial heritage, as its venue. Here, an afternoon dedicated to families unfolds, with street theatre performances, children's storytelling, creative workshops, and encounters with authors of children's books.

Free and for everyone

All Biblofestival events are free, in line with the libraries' mission to make culture accessible to all. The Dalmine stop is part of a widespread calendar that, over several weeks, covers the entire Bergamo area, offering children a rich range of events to approach reading through play, imagination, and live performance.
