The 2024 edition of the Gran Bal Trad will be held
from Monday 8 July to Saturday 13 July.
NOVELTY 2024

Monday: if you arrive on Monday you will find great surprises: entry to the Festival from 11.00am instead of 2.30pm. Possibility to access the refreshment area already for lunch. Starting with the activities already in the afternoon: a concert, a dance pill, singing around the table, ensemble music workshop. Participation fee including evening concerts €15.
Refreshment area: starting this year, no more cafeteria at GBT, but a new, completely reorganized Dining Area with an on-site kitchen and always fresh food! We have thought of a new way of serving meals: the area will be set up in islands (the island of first courses, second courses, desserts etc…) and you will be able to take every course or just what you want, paying only for what you take!

CHILDREN’S ENTERTAINMENT SERVICE

Free service provided during the hours of the workshops reserved for children from 3 years old, with entertainment, games, dancing and various activities. Reservations must be made at the moment of booking.

Music workshop for children:
Brigata Corsara and Marco Volpatto will propose a musical workshop exclusively dedicated to children. During the workshop children will work alternating moments with individual instrumental groups (flute, violin, guitar, keyboard owned by individual participants and percussion provided by teachers) to moments of orchestral ensemble.
Workshops will be in the morning from 10.30 to 12.30.
On Sunday there will be a public execution.
The workshop will be free for participants and will also welcome any last minute members. But we urge those concerned to register as soon as possible in order to send the scores adapted for each component giving the opportunity to study their own part in these months of waiting.
In order to facilitate the organization of the workshops please send to the laboratory coordinator Marco Volpatto (Marco.volpatto@tiscali.it) the following data: name and surname, age, instrument and degree of experience, the day of arrival and starting.

Children’s “nap” area. A closed structure will be available where mothers and dads can bring their children for naps. Surveillance in this area will not be provided by the organization, therefore parents have to organize surveillance turns by themselves.

NATURE AND CULTURE IN VIALFRÉ

The Vialfrè Proloco organizes and promotes numerous initiatives based on the combination of Nature and Culture, to discover Vialfrè and its woods.
