Yellow Cross Festival
The popular charity festival of the Montegranaro Public Assistance, at the Arena Estate in La Croce
About Yellow Cross Festival
A Community Festival in the Heart of Montegranaro
The Festa della Croce Gialla is one of the most cherished events of the summer in Montegranaro, in the province of Fermo, in the Marche region. It takes place at the Arena Estate in the La Croce area, an outdoor space that for several consecutive evenings becomes the meeting point for families, young people, and volunteers. It's not just another local fair; it's a popular and charitable festival, organized by the medics of the Pubblica Assistenza Croce Gialla 118 to fund their rescue activities in the area.
Who Organizes the Festival
The Croce Gialla of Montegranaro was founded in 1988 by a group of AVIS volunteers who felt the need for an emergency response vehicle for the town. Today, it has about 300 active medics and hundreds of supporting members, providing 118 emergency medical services, transportation, first aid courses, and civil protection. The annual festival is the main fundraising event and, at the same time, an opportunity to thank the community that supports the association throughout the year.
What to Find at the Festival
The format, consolidated in past editions, focuses on conviviality and good food. Among the food stalls, you'll find:
- Traditional and gourmet pizza prepared by local pizzaiolos
- Local craft beer and Marche regional dishes
- Outdoor dining areas, designed especially for families and young people
The evenings are enlivened by live music, musical groups, comedians, and DJ sets, in an informal and festive atmosphere. Previous editions have also included special events such as vintage car rallies (the historic Fiat 500s) and the blessing of new ambulances, reminding everyone of the event's charitable nature.
Why It's Worth Attending
The Festa della Croce Gialla is an authentic portrait of a Marche village festival: you eat well, dance, chat with neighbors, and every euro spent concretely helps those who provide rescue services daily in Montegranaro and the entire Fermo area. A perfect opportunity to experience the local community away from the major tourist circuits.
