Jazz and rock performances, along with lively parades, sparked waves of excitement with visitors singing along, dancing, and taking photos with performers. Stephen Sturdevant, a participant from the United States, expressed his enjoyment of the shows, saying "It wasn't just a performance where you only watched others dance, but it was the one where they invited us to join in!"
Italian singer Alessia Raisi highlighted the festival's role in fostering global connections among young people. "I'm always very happy to do cultural exchanges with young people," she said. "Bringing together diverse cultures helps break barriers and create new bridges for communication."
