Slogan: URSPRUNG (Origin)
The FIKTIVA festival original idea is based on the “parcours”. The artistic offer on the streets of the old-district, the free admission and the inclusion of all social classes without age restriction, is a new experience for many. We aim to promote socially friendly encounters between artists and visitors.
