The story of Festa Galattica

From need to growth

Festa Galattica was born from a personal and collective need to create healthy meeting spaces for human biodiversity.

There is an urgent need to reconnect authentically in natural places through love, personal growth, music, healthy food and agriculture, art, craftsmanship, and all the beautiful things in life.

The dream

Festa Galattica was born from the dream of a 24-year-old who, upon returning from a long trip to Australia, missed having natural spaces to generate true connections in Italy, especially for young people.

Thanks to the help of Ale Testuggine, a friend with land in the high Val Trebbia, he organized a first gathering and, with other motivated young people who shared the same need, began this small but great revolution.

That young man, who is now a man, is named Falco Tuonante.

The first edition

The first edition was a disaster, total madness: having never organized or even attended a festival before, he brought together in a single space the things he loved most—music, nature, spirituality, simplicity, new authentic connections, good food, and taking care of one another, feeling as one.

The first year, he worked all summer in a mountain hut to save up the money needed to pay all the collaborators.

He didn't make it back right away, but by the second edition, Festa Galattica became legendary, attracting travelers from all over the world.

The greatest satisfaction

The greatest satisfaction is seeing people arrive burdened by their personal weights and leave renewed, full of trust in humanity.

The creation of the festival is thanks to everyone's cooperation, more than 100 collaborators, area managers, curators, local partners, volunteers, and more than 10,000 users who support us by choosing to follow this project.

Come and be part of the Galactic tribe and bring your uniqueness with you.

Festa Galattica 2026

Many surprises await us at Festa Galattica 2026: a solid healing area with professionals who will teach the pillars of meditation, yoga, and breathwork for 5 mornings; various workshops every afternoon, labs, and an area entirely dedicated to art; and a new active participation area where anyone who wants to can propose an activity.

We select only the best emerging international artists to create a unique vibration using high-quality sound systems.

This year we will all dance together on the new UNITY STAGE to feel like one big galactic family.

There will be various types of shows, but only through everyone's active participation will we create the best party ever; bring your art with you and let it flow freely by performing in the spaces we've curated.

We like to keep an aura of mystery around our guests, but we'll reveal a few spoilers along the way to make the wait even sweeter.
