Milan's Martesana Festival Launches Crowdfunding Campaign for 2026 Cultural Arena

In Milan, the Nuovo Anfiteatro Martesana association has initiated a crowdfunding campaign to establish the 2026 Festival della Martesana, aiming to transform Parco della Martesana into a permanent summer cultural venue. The effort seeks to raise €30,000 within 30 days, with matching funds from Milan's municipal government if the target is met. This initiative builds on the successful 2025 NAMA Summer Arena, which attracted over 100,000 attendees with diverse programming. The project involves coordination by Ecologia Turismo Cultura with partners Crea Productions and MiGarden, alongside more than twenty local cultural organizations. The campaign aims to cover preliminary costs for technical requirements, permits, and infrastructure to create a large-scale public arena.
