Verdi Spip Parade

The festive spirit of Verdi Off takes hold of the industrial heart of Parma’s SPIP district with the Verdi SPIP Parade, featuring theatre, juggling, concerts and performances held across various businesses – all with free entry for families and children – involving over 50 artists, offering a chance to discover the vast urban space where Parma’s businesses and enterprises are bustling with activity.

Organised by the Teatro Regio di Parma, in partnership with Parma City Council, the SPIP Committee and the “Parma, io ci sto!” Association, and in collaboration with the Camst Group, the Verdi SPIP Parade once again offers its playful, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere – an approach that earned it a special mention at the prestigious CULTURA+IMPRESA Award, selected from among 123 projects submitted from 14 Italian regions.

To mark the Verdi SPIP Parade, a number of businesses in the SPIP area, as part of the ImpreseAperte project – conceived and organised by the Parma Industrialists’ Union in collaboration with “Parma, io ci sto!”, in collaboration with the training organisation Cisita Parma and under the patronage of the City of Parma and the University of Parma, are opening their doors to the public to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise, offering a ‘behind-the-scenes’ look at production processes and celebrating the key role that corporate culture plays in the local area.

In collaboration with the City of Parma, the SPIP Committee and the “Parma, io ci sto!” Association. Featuring the Jazz’On Parma Orchestra, the Lynus Collective, the Rapsody Orchestra, the Felino Band, the Circolarmente Association, the Chronos3 Cultural Association and Teatro Necessario.
