On the weekend of March 21 and 22, the millennia-old charm of the Roman aqueducts will serve as the backdrop for an event celebrating the arrival of spring: the 692 Secret Garden (Via Tuscolana 692) opens its doors to welcome the season.
The Spring Festival Program
From 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM, this charming location will transform into an experiential village where exceptional craftsmanship meets live music and family entertainment. The event’s soundtrack promises an eclectic musical journey through various genres. Saturday kicks off with local folklore by Filuccio and Fattacci (12:00 PM), followed by the Latin and gypsy vibes of Clandestinos in the afternoon.
Sunday features the greatest hits of 1970s pop-rock with Face2Face Duo, followed by the explosive energy of La Perros Mojados – Orquesta Cumbiera, an international 14-piece ensemble that will close the event with cumbia and reggae rhythms. In addition, throughout the weekend, Alessandro Scintu will enchant the audience with rare instruments such asthe hang drum and the didgeridoo. A melody that captivates young and old alike (we witnessed this firsthand at a past event, also held at the Secret Garden).
The beating heart of the event will be the Hippie Market. In fact, this market is usually held over the weekend, where you can find “handmade” items, design pieces, and independent illustrations, as well as curated vintage collections. All of this will be accompanied by a diverse selection of street food for a quality culinary break.
The event is designed to engage all age groups thanks to roaming performances by jugglers and clowns. Younger children (and their parents) will be able to try their hand at various hands-on activities.
- Spring Ceramics: clay modeling with natural elements.
- Mosaic: to learn the ancient art of arranging colored tiles.
- Zen Corner: an area dedicated to relaxation and shared play in a peaceful atmosphere.
