MEDADONNA
A week of events for International Women's Day
About MEDADONNA
March 8th becomes a week
MEDADONNA is the festival that the Municipality of Meda, in the Province of Monza and Brianza, dedicates to International Women's Day. Not a single event but a week of cultural initiatives that, around March 8th, fill the Sala Civica Radio and city spaces with exhibitions, meetings, music, and shows.
The theme of the edition
Each year the festival revolves around a central theme. This edition is dedicated to the theme "Woman and Water", explored through exhibitions such as the one titled "Sirens", literary readings, concerts, and themed walks. A journey that combines art, literature, and reflection, enhancing the role and stories of women.
The MEDADONNA Award
The central moment of the festival is the MEDADONNA Award ceremony, held on March 8th: an award that celebrates female figures connected to the territory and the community. The other events, including opera performances, concerts, and in-depth discussions, are developed around this award ceremony.
A cultural offering for the city
Promoted by the Municipality of Meda, MEDADONNA is now an anticipated event in the city's calendar. The choice to extend the March 8th celebration to an entire week reflects the desire to transform a symbolic occasion into a concrete opportunity for culture, meeting, and participation for the entire Brianza community.
