A weekend that many were waiting for given that with the day of celebration, June 2, it gets longer and starts earlier. How to best enjoy (while staying in the city) this early summer “stop”? We have fresh vernissage exhibitions, small and not so small festivals, live music and events for families and children. It should be noted that a Palazzo Fava the exhibition dedicated to a complex and multifaceted figure continues (of which we give you a preview): Pike Saffaro. Coming soon in Bologna: dates and screenings of Biography film 2023.
Here is our now “usual” decalogue:

The 10 events not to be missed this weekend:
(for an evening of music)
Friday 2 June live at the Arena Puccini “Kokoroko” opening “Fusai Fusa”. Within the London music scene, “Kokoroko” have shuffled the cards of contemporary jazz. The eight musicians, among the great revelations of 2019, pay homage to the music of their ancestors by proposing a hybrid sound with a blend of soul and afrobeat, between African pride and the energy of British jazz.
(for an atypical afternoon)
Saturday 3 June, 3.30 pm workshop “Green walks – Small explorations in the Certosa”. An exploratory journey aimed at children (5-11 years) to discover together the Certosa, now a Unesco World Heritage Site. During the walk, small observation exercises aimed at nature, art and poetry will be proposed. With the help of a special map we will cross the space trying to grasp the little magic of the place, and at the end of the activity the children will compose a personal postcard that portrays a glimpse of the city.
3. “Unkle Kook” live at Frida nel Parco
Saturday 3 June “Unkle Kook” live in Frida nel Parco. Does surf music exist? That’s probably a thing of the past, or maybe it’s not even a genre after all. If you think of surf music, Dick Dale comes to mind with his instrumental music, or even the Beach Boys, who talked about surfing in the harmonies of their voices. Unkle kook are five non-surfers: guitars, bass, drums and sax. This band is ready to shower you with reverbs and drown you in rock&roll.

The Circolo ARCI Gentlemen Loser has managed to increase the presence of young people who tread the green park of the Pasi di Medicina area, after overcoming years of important changes. Initially, the change of location from Villa Fontana to the full center of Medicina, the stop during the pandemic and the decision to leave the Rock exclusive thus expanding the pool of artists present on stage to reach a wider audience.
