What is the Gran Bal Trad
The Festival
Gran Bal Trad is a festival dedicated to traditional dance and music, born from the desire to put in contact different forms of dance and musical expression. It offers participants a varied collage of examples from the various cultures of Europe, including a broad cross-section of our own Italian traditions.
