Lele Forever – 25 Years Together: The Big Celebration from June 26 to 28
Preparations for the “Lele Forever – 25 Years Together” celebration are nearing completion: the planning, review, and design phase that has kept volunteers busy over the past few months will soon become a reality, and the public will be able to appreciate their organizational efforts.
From June 26 to 28, in Piazza Europa in Villasanta (MB), three days of celebration, solidarity, and community with activities for children, music, entertainment, gatherings for car enthusiasts, and great food to delight attendees with a rich menu of dishes for all tastes—including burgers, sandwiches, the new addition of pizza, and classic cakes. At the bar, in addition to beer, soft drinks, and wine, you’ll also find two classic aperitifs: the classic Aperol Spritz and the Gin and Tonic. Thanks to the shade structures, you’ll also be able to have lunch at noon. There will also be a booth featuring photographs, memorabilia, and the history of the Association: an interesting journey through these past 25 years spent together.
In the small square next to Piazza Europa, a large children’s area will be open on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons, featuring workshops, games (in collaboration with the Villasanta Parents’ Association), and mini-golf courses. But that’s not all—for the youngest guests, there will be Baby Dance every evening in front of the stage.
Three concerts will take turns on the main stage: on Friday evening, for Vasco Rossi fans, the legendary band Redio Vasco (partnering with the association since 2008) will perform; on Saturday evening, Nuovanta will take the stage with a vibrant concert featuring music from the ’90s and 2000s. The festival will wrap up on Sunday evening with the beloved Azione Mutande and their rock concert.
Of course, there’s a section dedicated to motor enthusiasts, featuring a Vespa rally and—thanks to the support of Mams in Monza—a classic car show as well. The exhibition will take place on Saturday on Via Carducci, from where a parade will set off at 4:30 p.m. through the city streets; at the end of the parade, the vehicles will return to the starting point, where they can be admired by the public.
Among the most anticipated events is Sunday’s “Camminata in giallo – Together in Yellow,” a 5-kilometer walk open to everyone, designed for families, friends, sports groups, and residents. The goal is to transform a simple walk into a great moment of sharing and solidarity, where every participant can feel part of something special. The walk will begin at 9:30 a.m. in Piazza Europa with entertainment, music, and a group warm-up, before setting off at 10:00 a.m. toward the park, passing through various interactive stations designed to engage both adults and children. Along the route, in addition to admiring the park’s beauty, there will be points of interest: at Mulini Asciutti, there will be interactive activities and entertainment. At Cascina Colosio, a snack will be served, and all participants will work together to create the large “Lele” sign, which will become the symbol of the walk. Finally, in Piazza del Comune, participants can leave a symbolic mark of their participation by signing the “Grande Maglia Gialla.” The walk will end once again in Piazza Europa, where the celebration will continue with music, entertainment, and the chance to stop for lunch under the shade trees.
“Even a simple walk, taken together, can become a concrete gesture of hope and support for those who face illness every day. Everything will be decked out in yellow—the Association’s symbolic color, the color of the sun, energy, and hope. We hope to see many of you there: together, step by step, we can truly make a difference,” say the organizers.
