The Festa del Riu aims to show that the Social and Solidarity Economy of Bages is a reality, present in all productive and reproductive sectors. And how it exists, it is a good option (the best!) for each of our daily decisions.
The Festival of the River aims to give visibility and promote proximity economic alternatives, with a positive global impact. Economic alternatives that are growing stronger and stronger, and although some people still do not know about them, they can offer us solutions to create and strengthen an economy that puts people at the centre.
At the Festa del Riu, entities of north-south cooperation, local entities focused on people, cooperatives and other social economy enterprises from all sectors, sustainable agriculture projects, responsible textile projects, artisans, associations of newly arrived people, and gastronomic delicacies from the territory can be met.
The Festival of the Riu has a strong cultural and artistic programme, in line with critical culture and with a commitment to social transformation.
