Great idea - totally agree -should involve local products , people, history and shop-keepers...Keep it up-market, get good local sponsorship...hope Leon is up to the task.
Sorry to bang on abut Cremona but it's where i live. We had a well-known home grown celeb. footballer Gianluca Vialli to pubblicise the event , a celebrity Chef, Music, culture, lots of entertainment - The whole festival lasted a weekend including the lights being switched on...Accy has all the ingredients -great historic backdrop etc -just needs some-one with vision to get a hold of the reins...
Take a look at link to see photos etc of the Festival in Cremona which took place last weekend. Lots of street entertainers around town finished off the whole thing...
Just seen G's post which overlaps mine -go back to tradition -that's what people want in difficult times -things that have stood the test of time...
