In order to ensure that the development of the annual festival will follow in a fully sustainable way for the island of Formentera, for this year's event Posidonia Project Association and the Consell de Formentera have decided not to offer the main musical stage, where used to take place the most massive musical concerts. The
Posidonia Festival organization, with the aim to continue with the message related to environmental issues that the music can spread to people, also promotes a new musical initiative out of Formentera:
POSIDONIA Off 2010 that will be a
selection of musical events and initiatives, with a sensitivity to the environment, that support and promote the Posidonia Festival connecting with it, and will take place before the Posidonia Festival.
Inspired by the
Posidonia oceanica and its extension across all the Mediterranean Sea, POSIDONIA Off want to connect and share events which bring together the spirit and message of the Posidonia Festival in Formentera and are located in the countries of the recently born
Union for the Mediterranean , which soon will open its new institutions in
Barcelona, where the week before of POSIDONIA FESTIVAL also coincides with the
Fiestas de la Mercè .
