Verona Highlight: Toccati Games Festival




Every year in Verona, there is a games festival. It is taking place this weekend and we wish we could go to it, but next year if God wills, we will be living in Verona and we can go then. I have been reading about it and I thought it would be a great Verona Highlight focus.


The festival takes place throughout the historic downtown Verona area all throughout the streets. All kinds of traditional games going on, as well as foods and entertainment from places all around the world. Our team has talked about the possibility of being part of this in the future to some degree.


Apparently they have guest countries' contribute traditional games and more. This year's guest country is Croatia. This is from their website.... “The guest country is Croatia. The Croatians have suggested about fifteen of its traditional games, musical groups and typical dishes of a land that is turning itself around and showing itself again after a time of war.”


Here is the Tocati official website and its in English too! http://www.tocati.it/lang/en/home.php.
