About Family Festival

The Family Festival is the event that the Municipality of Monte Urano, in the Province of Fermo, dedicates each year to the family, to solidarity between generations, and to the well-being of the community. For five days, the Marche village comes alive with meetings, shows, workshops, health prevention seminars, activities for children, and initiatives for the elderly, spread across the Public Gardens, the Multipurpose Hall, and Piazza Verdi. A free event that focuses on people, dialogue, and mutual care.

A festival that puts family at the center

The Family Festival is an event promoted by the Municipality of Monte Urano, a small town in the Province of Fermo in the Marche region, through the Department of Social and Family Policies. For five consecutive days, the city transforms its public spaces into places for meeting, reflection, and sharing, with a program designed for all ages: children, young people, families, and the elderly.

Health, prevention, and well-being

One of the distinctive features of the event is its focus on health and prevention. In collaboration with the AsPO of the Province of Fermo, the festival offers informative evenings and free screenings: among the most popular initiatives are the meeting dedicated to the prevention of thyroid diseases and free thyroid ultrasounds, by reservation. There is also space for discussions on sensitive topics such as degenerative diseases, support for family caregivers, and memory.

Culture, traditions, and new technologies

The program intertwines local culture with a look towards the future. Workshops dedicated to murals in dialect and the valorization of local traditions are featured, alongside reflection sessions on the impact of artificial intelligence on human relationships. There are also events dedicated to animal care, with workshops on adoption and responsible pet ownership.

Shows and entertainment

The evenings offer entertainment for the whole family: from a Franciscan-inspired musical to magic and mentalism shows by magician Andrea Paris, to outdoor games and recreational activities. The concluding Sunday features a walk through nature and history and initiatives dedicated to active aging, to close the festival on a convivial note.

An event for the community

Free and open to all, the Monte Urano Family Festival takes place in the Public Gardens, the Multipurpose Hall, and Piazza Verdi, with the patronage of the Province of Fermo and the Marche Region. It is an opportunity to rediscover the value of community and intergenerational bonds in one of the most industrious villages in the Fermo area.
