Better late than never :D
The melodies are still echoing through our ears and our hearts are charged with the energy of this MAGICAL Strafiato 3.0!
Thank you to all the bandas for your commitment, your important input, your unique sounds, and for making the journey to be there. We are convinced that the love and solidarity we feel during such long festival days flows far beyond the music into all our lives, our togetherness, and our work for resistance — fueling it further. Right now, the world often feels like a huge and frightening pile of chaos. We are deeply grateful to live in a country where we can express our opinions freely. The current attacks on democracy and freedom of expression, the rise of fascism, genocides and wars, as well as the escalating cruelty taking place at the borders of the EU concern us enormously and remind us: now more than ever is not the time to despair! Instead, we are called upon to play, act, stand up, and fight even louder and more decisively for humanity and for the foundations of life on our planet, without allowing ourselves to be intimidated. You and your work are an inspiration to us!
! ! ! THANK YOU ! ! !
A huge thank you also goes out to all the helping, often invisible hands who spent countless hours cooking, washing dishes, cleaning, communicating, carrying, organizing, and taking care of things tirelessly. You are heroes!

And another thank you to all the SNOsies who worked throughout the whole year — and especially this weekend — to make this madness possible. Grassroots democracy can be a real challenge in large-scale projects like festival organization. Our festival debriefing showed that we have learned a lot over the years and that self-care for every single person must come first in order to organize a festival sustainably. We are happy that we managed it and look back with pride, gratitude, and light hearts.
We are also grateful for your feedback so we can continue learning!
In this spirit: take good care of yourselves, your loved ones, your bandas, and the planet. Together we are loud! And how!
