A beach
which becomes
a festival.
The Colour Fest takes place on the Falcone and Borsellino promenade, the Marinella beach of Lamezia Terme overlooking the Tyrrhenian: it is the Riviera of Sunsets, for the past two editions the new home of the festival.
In front, the open sea. Behind, the Sila chain and the hills. In between, the waterfront where we set up the stages, food areas and exhibition corners, with the light-coloured sand one step away. No spectacular fences, no urban skyline: just horizon.
It is the solitary beach of which Battiato sings: a stretch of Calabria Tyrrhenian authentic and bright, where the sea remains the protagonist and the horizon is uninterrupted.
A postcard three days long.
