Soon open registration for the next edition!

We are pleased to confirm that in June we will open registrations for the twentieth edition of the Gran Bal Trad!
It will be a special edition because in addition to celebrating our twentieth anniversary, we will also celebrate, above all, the return to the pleasure of dance that has been forbidden to us for so long.

We are waiting for you from Friday 27 August to Wednesday 1 September in the magical wood of Vialfrè.

Vialfrè “Covid free”

As you may have heard or read, events of this type in order to take place must guarantee conditions of absolute safety, achievable by creating a sort of “covid free” bubble within every one can move freely without constraints or various restrictions. The entrance to the Festival will therefore be allowed with the so-called “green pass” or “vaccination passport”, which shows that you have been vaccinated, or cured of Covid 19, or have tested negative for a molecular or unsanitary swab carried out in previous 48 hours.

Artists Line-up 2021

Simultaneously with the opening of the registrations, we will publish the line-up of the artists which this year will be full and first-rate; it is still the twentieth anniversary!

A contribution by Chacho Marchelli for the Gran Bal Trad

The organizers of the Gran Bal Trad hope that this message will find everyone in good health and serenity despite the persistence of the pandemic and its consequences.

Forced to cancel the 2020 edition, we hope to be able to meet again in Vialfrè in 2021 already from Monday 28 June to Saturday 3 July, and that our fabulous Festival can be the first great opportunity to return to being together in newfound serenity and joy and to enjoy, even more than usual, the magical atmosphere of the Vialfrè woods.

However, we must evaluate the possibility that the health emergency may still be prolonged and that it is necessary to plan to move the event towards the end of the summer, that is, from Monday 30 August to Saturday 4 September 2021. On that date we trust that the vaccination campaign has given its effects and that it is therefore allowed to enjoy the Festival without restrictions, masks, or numerical limits to participation.

By mid-March we will certainly be able to decide whether to confirm the June date (June 28 – July 3) or whether to postpone to the first week of September (August 30 – September 4).

We are sure that you understand the difficult situation that does not allow us to establish a certain date now.

In the meantime we thank you and wish you happy holidays!

“Ma qui rimango” – Bernardo Beisso

A new section opens on the Gran Bal Trad website in which we have collected videos of dances, songs, songs and greetings that the artists who participated in the Festival in the past years have sent us, or made available, as their contribution to the missed 2020 edition.

Many contributions have already arrived, but others have been promised to us and, as they arrive, before going to enrich the video gallery, they will be the subject of a post on our facebook page.

This video by Bernardo Beisso dates back to the time of the lockdown and we send it to you with the hope of not having to find ourselves in that situation again!
Instead, we hope that these music and dances will accompany and warm us throughout the winter, waiting for the next beautiful one, overwhelming Great Bal Trad!

Here are the dates for 2021!

The twentieth edition of the Gran Bal Trad will be held in Vialfrè from Friday 27 August 2021 (with evening opening) to Wednesday 1 September!

This year, therefore, we will not open the summer season but we will close it, to the rhythm of dance, in the hope that for that time the vaccination campaign has given its effects and that it is therefore possible to enjoy the Festival without restrictions or numerical limits to participation.

We hope to see each other to play and dance together!
