The 5th edition of Cantico Festival wrapped up in style, really showing off the lively vibe of the community behind it. Tons of visitors from abroad came to join in, tempted by the stunning scenery, delicious food, and, let’s be honest, the fantastic performances that had everyone, young and old, hooked. A fantastic crew of volunteers put in so much time and effort to keep things running smoothly, and their excitement was totally contagious. Plus, the awesome support from dozens of backers who jumped in through crowdfunding made a huge difference; their help made this artistic experience something truly special. All this combined created what’s been called the most successful festival yet, leaving everyone buzzing with excitement for what next year will bring.
And with that, Anna gives a huge shoutout to everyone who was part of this year’s edition, especially the 36 amazing supporters from all over Europe, hoping to see everyone one again in 2026. And finally, huge thanks and virtual hugs to everyone who performed:
