WHAT TO BRING

PARTICIPATION

The fuel of Extravaganza

Extravaganza is made possible by the people who are involved and actively participate for its realisation.

Each year we have an amazing team of volunteers and workers who always put their best effort and feeling in making this project so beautiful.

Also this year, at Extravaganza, we want to send a call for participation.
Each participant can contribute by choosing a only-1-hour shift during the entire festival.

Extravaganza is based on InvolvementInclusionSelf-expression.
