Three days of solidarity, sport, and music to celebrate active citizenship
About Festa del Volontariato
The festival of active citizenship
The Festa delle Associazioni e del Volontariato di Rubano, in the province of Padua, is the major autumn event dedicated to the world of local volunteering. Organized by A.C.V.R. (Association for the Coordination of Volunteering in Rubano) with the support of the Municipality and the CSV of Padua and Rovigo, it brings together dozens of local organizations for a few days.
Over 40 stands
The heart of the event is the over 40 stands of the associations, which present their activities and projects. The main day, Sunday, gives voice to the entire spectrum of citizen volunteering, with activities for children, exhibitions, a market, workshops, and gathering moments. There are also initiatives related to environmental sustainability, such as the "Insieme per il Bene Comune" (Together for the Common Good) project.
Solidarity, sport, and music
The festival intertwines the social dimension with the sporting and cultural ones, in a three-day program that values the associative fabric as a resource for the community. For Rubano, it is an opportunity to recognize and make visible the daily work of those who dedicate their time to others.
