Two weeks to live special events in the middle of nature
A period of many events, the summer in Mugello and in particular July will see a series of events that, for different reasons, have a close connection with Orme del Mugello and its themes, in addition to being located along the paths. All the more reason to take an excursion on our paths and perhaps in the evening be lulled by the activities, music, art and why not by good food, in addition to perhaps participating in one of the many in-depth studies and meetings planned.
It will start on the weekend of 11-12-13 July with "Foglia Tonda", between Crespino sul Lamone (new), Casaglia and Razzuolo, which will celebrate its eighth edition, and “Stradarte” in Galliano di Mugello which, in this new location, celebrates its second edition.
Foglia tonda will celebrate resilience in the mountains and in the internal areas between walks, talks, music, theater, art, poetry, desire to be together, being able to spend the night in a tent in the places of the events, insights in the midst of places that resist depopulation, abandonment, the difficulties of living and growing a difficult but beautiful territory. Program and lots of info on https://www.fogliatonda.info
The arts, of the most varied, will take to the streets on July 11 and 12 in Galliano for Stradarte: musicians, actors, painters, artisans, sculptors, poets, circus performers, street artists, dancers will perform, with a hat as a classic busker tradition, in the streets and in unusual places of the Mugello town, with the possibility of also appreciating the historical beauties of the village also with special guided tours, drinking and tasting local specialties, in the street, in a place crossed by some of our routes and by one of the variants of the Via degli Dei.

There will be three events that will characterize the third week of July: from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 July San Godenzo and its hamlets will host the Festival della Montagna Fiorentina, in June hosted by nearby Londa, from 17 to 20 Lake Bilancino and in particular Andolaccio will see the energy of Flood explode, while from 18 to 20 it will be the Giogo Casaglia Park that will host Passi Musica e Parole the Festival Lento dell’Appennino.
In the Montagna Fiorentina festival, San Godenzo, its beautiful territory partly within the Casentinesi Forests National Park, will allow you to discover the beauties, even the most hidden ones, of the Municipality that hosted Dante and Pietro Annigoni, inspired Dino Campana and gave birth to Andrea del Castagno. Walks, meetings, music, art, ancient traditions, all free to participate, with a whole series of services available, and the possibility of enjoying excellent food in the cool of San Godenzo and its widespread constellation of hamlets. The rich program and opportunities can be found on https://montagnafiorentina.com
From July 17 to 20, the shores of Lake Bilancino will offer the seventh edition of the liveliest, most popular and overwhelming festival in the area: Flood will offer activities for children and families, music, DJ sets, theater, and the possibility of dining on the lake with over twenty street foods. Furthermore, thanks to the Flood Experience, over the weekend it will be possible to experiment with the possibilities of activities on the lake, from trekking to running, from sailing to canoeing, from SUP to Kayak, through climbing, yoga and fitness: free afternoon or morning activities, available to everyone and which will allow you to actively experience the lake.

Orme del Mugello collaborates with Casa al Giogo, Oltrepasso and Mugello Outdoor in the creation of the first edition of Passi Musica e Parole il Festival Lento dell’Appennino. Events in the refuge, both at Giogo and La Serra, book presentations, musical performances, walks, holistic activities, good food and the desire to fraternize and understand the essence of our Apennines and the desire to live it at a human pace, to take back time and oneself. Moreover, our path +4, the path of breathing, will be the scene of a specific morning activity.

In short, two weeks to live intensely, to pedal or walk on our paths and then be dragged by a series of activities for which to choose the Mugello and experience it at 360 °.
