Two days of real entertainment, with lots of new features. They were announced by Mayor Campus and Councilor for Culture Useri in presenting the Sardinian Cavalcade number 72 , which will be held in Sassari on Sunday 21 May with an important prologue on Saturday.
" For the first time we are relying on an artistic director , because this event is not religious and must be managed like a show that costs 560,000 euros," explained Mayor Campus. The artistic director is Giuliano Marongiu , an expert in Sardinian folklore and traditions, who announced the changes made to give rhythm to the event: «The 60 groups will parade not divided by provinces, but in alphabetical order, and towards the end a large group will be created of 150 women with the traditional clothing of the different countries. Furthermore, on Saturday evening various Sardinian artists will alternate and duet on stage: from Benito Urgu to Tazenda, from Collage to Maria Giovanna Cherchi . The list is really large and we will also have some surprises».
It is nothing new, but a welcome return, that of the pairs at the racecourse, which will be organized by the Sassarese Horse Racing Society on Sunday afternoons starting at 5 pm, with six groups for a total of 23 riders and amazons : Oristano, Silì, Logudoresa (Thiesi and Ittiri), Donigala, Santa Giusta and San Quirico.
On Sunday evening, in Piazza d'Italia, the show of Sardinian dances and music with the groups.
