International Summer Festival Meet the Tradition

The 2025 edition of the international festival Meet the Tradition, the thirteenth, was held in Montecatini Terme from July 17 to 21. As per tradition, the non-competitive event brought together folk dance groups, choirs, instrumental ensembles, and companies of modern and classical dance.

The program alternated between the initial technical meeting, the opening parade through the city center, evening concerts, and the gala concert with the ceremony for awarding diplomas, plaques, and mementos to all participants. There was no shortage of social moments — a disco night and the election of Miss Festival — as well as optional excursions to Florence, Pisa, and Lucca, completing the experience in the heart of Tuscany.
