#SanremoInFiore will take place on March 8

All the municipalities of the Italian Riviera (absent only Vallecrosia) are preparing the 'Sanremo in fiore', an event that will take place on March 8th with classic floral floats and all the corollary, folklore groups and entertainment.

Three weeks before the event, all the 700 tickets were already sold and the city has already prepared the installation of new stands to welcome other spectators, who want to enjoy the show comfortably seated, always on the waterfront Calvino.

In addition to the 'mythical' chariots 4 bands are in the programme, all from the area: the band 'City of Sanremo', the 'Sing and Sciuscia', the 'Rambaldi' and 'Morozzese'. There will be nine groups that alternate the floats, moreover flag-wavers of Ventimiglia. Among the groups, many Italians and four foreigners from Holland, France, Spain and Estonia, the latter on roller skates.

As for the preparation of the weekend, it was already confirmed that animation is scheduled for Friday with some groups, which will double on Saturday. Together with the groups, that will parade in the city center along with some bands, there will be the parade of 500 vintage Vespas along the waterfront, which will also take place on Sunday during the ' Flowery Corso'.

The city is also working on an endorser of the event, who will almost certainly come from the entertainment world.

In short, a preparation that bodes well for the number of tourists attending, since Bellevue Palace (Sanremo's town-hall) has already received requests for certain groups from Emilia Romagna, as well as Piedmont, Lombardia and Valle d'Aosta.
