Lele Forever – 25 Years Together: We’re Almost There
A meeting with volunteers on Thursday evening (pictured), followed by Friday morning and Friday afternoon to finalize preparations, and then the kickoff of “Lele Forever – 25 Years Together.” From June 26 to 28, in Piazza Europa in Villasanta, three days dedicated to celebration, solidarity, and sharing will take place. The program includes activities for children, live music, entertainment, car shows, and a wide variety of food options. The food offerings will cater to all tastes, featuring hamburgers, sandwiches, the new addition of pizza, and the ever-popular cakes. At the bar, in addition to beer, wine, and soft drinks, two very popular aperitifs will be available: Aperol Spritz and Gin and Tonic. Thanks to the shade structures set up in the festival area, it will also be possible to have lunch at noon. There will also be a space dedicated to the association’s history, featuring photographs, memorabilia, and materials chronicling its 25 years of activity.
In the small square adjacent to Piazza Europa, a large area reserved for children will be set up, open on Saturday and Sunday mornings and afternoons. The program includes creative workshops, games organized in collaboration with the Villasanta Parents’ Association, and mini-golf courses. Every evening, in front of the stage, children can also enjoy the Baby Dance.
Three musical performances will take turns on stage. On Friday evening, Redio Vasco—a legendary Vasco Rossi tribute band that has supported the association since 2008—will take the stage. Saturday will feature Nuovanta, with a show dedicated to the greatest hits of the 1990s and 2000s. Closing out the event on Sunday evening will be the now-beloved Azione Mutande with their energetic rock show.
There will also be something for motor enthusiasts. On Saturday, in Via Carducci, there will be a gathering of Vespas and classic cars, organized in collaboration with MAMS in Monza. At 4:30 p.m., the vehicles will set off on a parade through the city streets, before returning to the starting point where they will be on display to the public.
Among the most anticipated events is the “Camminata in giallo – Together in Yellow,” scheduled for Sunday. This is a non-competitive five-kilometer walk open to everyone: families, sports groups, friends, and residents. The initiative aims to transform a simple walk into a great moment of participation and solidarity.
The gathering is set for 9:30 a.m. in Piazza Europa, featuring entertainment, music, and a group warm-up. The walk will begin at 10:00 a.m., heading toward Monza Park along a route featuring interactive stops designed to engage both adults and children. Activities and entertainment are planned at Mulini Asciutti, while a snack will be offered at Cascina Colosio. Here, participants will also form the large word “Lele,” the symbol of the walk. In Piazza del Comune, participants will have the opportunity to sign the “Grande Maglia Gialla” (Big Yellow Jersey), a tangible sign of their participation in the initiative. The walk will conclude back at Piazza Europa, where the celebration will continue with music, entertainment, and the opportunity to stop for lunch.
“Even a simple walk, when experienced together, can become a concrete gesture of hope and support for those who battle illness every day. Everything will be themed in yellow, the association’s symbolic color, which evokes the sun, energy, and hope. We hope to see many of you there: step by step, together we can truly make a difference,” the organizers emphasize.
