About Peoples' Festival

The Festa dei Popoli is Lodi's great intercultural day: words, songs, and dances from around the world, ethnic gastronomy, and workshops fill the Parco Martiri della Libertà with colors and diverse voices. Promoted by Umanità Lodigiana and Caritas Lodigiana, it brings together dozens of associations and nationalities in an embrace between cultures. An opportunity to discover the richness of diversity and to live together a message of peace and welcome in the heart of the city.

One heart, many voices

The Festa dei Popoli is the intercultural day of Lodi, the provincial capital in Lombardy, promoted by Umanità Lodigiana and Caritas Lodigiana. It is an event that celebrates the encounter between cultures, peoples, and stories from all over the world, transforming the Parco Martiri della Libertà, in the San Fereolo district, and the Campi Faustina into a space for celebration, dialogue, and sharing.

Dances, music, and flavors from around the world

The program is a kaleidoscope of languages: dances and music from around the world, ethnic gastronomy with dishes and specialties from many traditions, workshops for children, and interactive activities in the outdoor spaces. Each community brings its own contribution, creating a day that is both a popular festival and an opportunity for mutual understanding.

A network of solidarity

The Festa dei Popoli involves dozens of associations, organizations, and different nationalities, in a network that makes solidarity and welcome its founding values. More than just an event, it is a message: diversity as richness, encounter as growth. For Lodi, it is an appointment that tells of an open and plural city, capable of putting people and their stories at the center.
