The Basil Festival is one of the most loved events by the people of Pesaro, for «the continuity and recognisability it interprets, for its ability to “make people feel good”, for the identity value of the neighborhood and the parish which is found for four days in its spaces" concludes Vimini.

Elements that have allowed the festival to take place for decades, attracting hundreds of people from Pesaro: «In terms of length of service it is second only to the Festa del Porto – remembers Enzo Belloni, councilor for operations – It brings with it an ancient origin, made up of habits and customs linked to the peasant world, which for us identifies. We thank the parish priest, the group of volunteers and their desire to spend themselves for others. We hope their dedication will be rewarded with a good participation."

It was what we needed, also to support the motivation of the volunteers who have been working for weeks on setting up and arranging the greenery, to best welcome the many visitors who will join us for the evenings dedicated to the youth bands on Friday (when it will also take place the novelty for 2023: the night ride), the DJ, the dances of the group and the laughter guaranteed by the jokester Bicio on Saturdays, the great music of the orchestra on Sundays».
