A contribution by Chacho Marchelli for the Gran Bal Trad

The organizers of the Gran Bal Trad hope that this message will find everyone in good health and serenity despite the persistence of the pandemic and its consequences.

Forced to cancel the 2020 edition, we hope to be able to meet again in Vialfrè in 2021 already from Monday 28 June to Saturday 3 July, and that our fabulous Festival can be the first great opportunity to return to being together in newfound serenity and joy and to enjoy, even more than usual, the magical atmosphere of the Vialfrè woods.

However, we must evaluate the possibility that the health emergency may still be prolonged and that it is necessary to plan to move the event towards the end of the summer, that is, from Monday 30 August to Saturday 4 September 2021. On that date we trust that the vaccination campaign has given its effects and that it is therefore allowed to enjoy the Festival without restrictions, masks, or numerical limits to participation.

By mid-March we will certainly be able to decide whether to confirm the June date (June 28 – July 3) or whether to postpone to the first week of September (August 30 – September 4).

We are sure that you understand the difficult situation that does not allow us to establish a certain date now.

In the meantime we thank you and wish you happy holidays!

“Ma qui rimango” – Bernardo Beisso

A new section opens on the Gran Bal Trad website in which we have collected videos of dances, songs, songs and greetings that the artists who participated in the Festival in the past years have sent us, or made available, as their contribution to the missed 2020 edition.

Many contributions have already arrived, but others have been promised to us and, as they arrive, before going to enrich the video gallery, they will be the subject of a post on our facebook page.

This video by Bernardo Beisso dates back to the time of the lockdown and we send it to you with the hope of not having to find ourselves in that situation again!
Instead, we hope that these music and dances will accompany and warm us throughout the winter, waiting for the next beautiful one, overwhelming Great Bal Trad!
