Bologna Mountain Evergreen Fest

A week of well-being in the Bolognese Apennines

The Bologna Mountain Evergreen Fest is the widespread festival that every year, in the first days of June, transforms the Apennines above Bologna into a large space dedicated to the well-being and beauty of living in contact with nature. Founded in 2021 and organized by the association Viva il Verde APS based in Loiano, the festival develops along the route of the Bologna Mountain Art Trail, the artistic and naturalistic itinerary that connects the villages of the Bolognese mountains.

A widespread festival across five Municipalities

The Evergreen Fest does not have a single venue: it is a widespread and itinerant event that involves the mountain territories of the Municipalities of Loiano, Monghidoro, Monterenzio, Monzuno, and San Benedetto Val di Sambro, in the Metropolitan City of Bologna, Emilia-Romagna. Each day offers appointments distributed among woods, trails, squares, and cultural places, so that visitors can choose their own path through the mountains.

What to expect

The program is entirely dedicated to the concept of well-being and sustainability, with the participation of qualified professionals. Among the most characteristic activities of the festival:

• Excursions and walks along the trails of the Bologna Mountain Art Trail
• Workshops and seminars on well-being, natural nutrition, and outdoor living
• Meetings and conferences with experts in environment, health, and sustainability
• Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness activities immersed in nature
• Inaugurations of artworks, murals, and nature trails along the trail
• Markets and cultural initiatives in the mountain villages

The philosophy of the festival is to make participants active protagonists of the program, not just spectators: you walk, you practice, you learn, and you share.

An invitation to rediscover the Bolognese mountains

The Evergreen Fest is a precious opportunity to discover the Bolognese Apennines in a slow and conscious way, far from the rhythms of the city. The mountains above Bologna, with their woods, their panoramas, and their villages, become for a week the heart of a great collective story about sustainable living. An event designed for families, hikers, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to reconnect authentically with the environment.
