About Spring of Associations

Over thirty associations celebrating for an entire day: the Spring of Associations enlivens the spaces of Cascina Grande in Rozzano with workshops, ethnic dances, street food, a vintage market, music, and visits to nature reserves. It's a celebration of active citizenship, from the morning with the Musical Band to the evening DJ set. An event for all ages, in the province of Milan.

The festival of active citizenship

In Rozzano, in the province of Milan, there is a day when the city's rich associative fabric is showcased: the Spring of Associations, which enlivens the outdoor spaces of the Cascina Grande Cultural Centre. Promoted by the municipal administration, the event involves over thirty local associations and celebrates the value of volunteering and participation.

A day full of activities

The program opens in the morning with a performance by the Rozzano Musical Band and continues with art therapy workshops for adults and creative activities for children. In the afternoon, there will be ethnic dances, face painting, flash mobs, and live performances, culminating in an evening DJ set that closes the festival. In between, there are many moments of meeting and fun for all ages.

Street food, vintage, and nature

There are also gastronomic offerings with street food, a vintage market, photographic and artistic exhibitions, a vintage car display, and the "Wall of Wishes" for messages on inclusion. The APE Natura association also organizes guided tours of the "La Sorgiva" and "Lo Smeraldino" nature reserves, to discover the city's protected green spaces.

The supportive side of Rozzano

The Spring of Associations is much more than a festival: it's the story of an active and supportive community. For those who want to discover the participatory and welcoming face of Rozzano, on the outskirts of Milan, this is the right day to immerse yourself in the city's associative life.
