PRESS RELEASE (7/9/2016)

Foundation De Mari, in collaboration with the’Modern Jazz Dance Academy, the Attimo Danza Civic School, l’Ist. Secondary School Mazzini-Ramella, the Youth Counseling Center of Loano ASL 2, the CRI Loano.
La YEPP Music Festival changes format this year and moves to the Don Leone Grossi Park, where as of 5 p.m. music will take center stage along with juggling and balancing acts, visual arts performances with writers and painters, and drone demonstrations. All this will be enhanced by information booths on YEPP activities in the youth center The invisible cities e Mini Street Food.
“The Music Festival," explains the Vice Mayor and Councillor for Social Services. Luca Lettieri - this year moves to one of Loogan's parks that is most frequented by young people.
YEPP Loano youths wanted to respond to the request from some citizens to ensure greater control and policing of the area, especially places frequented by families, by proposing a day full of fun, artistic and cultural activities.
The idea shared with the YEPP Loano Association is to create an opportunity to raise awareness of the many opportunities the youth center offers in the kursaal spaces. So many young people do not express interests and are more likely to meet in city parks to get together. The music festival aims to stimulate their curiosity about activities that can enrich and grow. At the same time, we want to invite adults to discover the youth of YEPP Loano, who have put themselves out there to help the policy promote activities that can better meet the needs of other youth in the area. In short, a party for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy a day of music, art and lots of positive energy together.”
Opening the party will be the students of the circus school CircoIncerto with street circus performances and juggling and balancing acts. Serving as a soundtrack will be the music of the DJ-Set by Tave, Trapa & Loosa.
