Sustainable development
ItalfestMTL is committed to take initiatives to reduce its environmental impact.
At ItalfestMTL, our passion for Italian culture goes hand in hand with a deep respect for our host community. We believe that La Dolce Vita can only thrive in a healthy environment. For 33 years, we have been celebrating in the heart of Montreal, and it is our duty to preserve the beauty and cleanliness of the neighborhoods that welcome us.
That is why we integrate eco-friendly practices into the heart of our festivities through five key pillars:
Active Transportation
Italy on Two Wheels: We encourage our visitors to use bicycles or public transportation to reduce the carbon footprint of our family celebration
Gestion des ressources
Zéro déchet, 100% plaisir. De la réduction des plastiques à usage unique à la gestion rigoureuse des matières résiduelles, nous visons un festival propre pour une ville éclatante.
Supporting Local Businesses
Short supply chains, bold flavors. By supporting local artisans and restaurants, we help boost the local economy while minimizing our environmental impact.
Inclusion and Accessibility
A heart open to all. Because Italian culture is all about sharing, we ensure universal accessibility to our venues and keep our performances free of charge so that no barriers stand in the way of the celebration.
Social Commitment
The extended family. We promote equity on our stages by supporting emerging artists and artists from diverse backgrounds, while creating meaningful volunteer opportunities for residents in our neighborhoods.
