History of Via Colori
Via Colori is different from other festivals. It is a celebration founded on a spirit of cooperation and non-competitiveness. There are no winners or losers...just the collective creative expression of hundreds of professional and amateur artists working together to support a cause.
The street festival has been held annually in a several cities in the U.S. the past few years and adding more to it's list each year.
