Festival "Il Fanciullo e il Folklore"

"Il Fanciullo e il Folklore" is the historic national event dedicated to young custodians of Italy's cultural roots. The 2026 edition will be hosted by the city of Licata. For three days, the event celebrates the encounter between generations and the preservation of popular traditions through a rich and lively program.

The heart of the event is the performances by folk groups, who bring to the stage music, songs, and dances typical of their homelands. The event is not just a spectacle, but also an active participation: the children challenge each other in popular and traditional games, rediscovering the pleasure of time-honored recreational activities. Finally, there's room for taste with a typical cooking competition, where each group presents a traditional dish from their homeland, transforming the event into a sensory journey through the flavors and stories of authentic Italy.
