The inclusion of the organisation of cultural events in the third sector’s main repertoire of action is relatively new, and one that requires attention if we are to bring the tasks of contemporary civil society into sharper focus. This chapter provides this attention in two ways. Firstly, it briefly traces the history of the centrality of events in the Italian third sector, to highlight the factors that have progressively made this repertoire of action unavoidable and the advantages that now derive from having recourse to it, particularly in terms of exercising a particular form of cultural power. Secondly, it approaches third-sector events from an analytical point of view, with a comparative study focused on scene styles that overcomes the bottlenecks and dead ends typical of the current, increasing polarised, debate on this repertoire of action. The proposed argument is grounded in research results from an ethnographic study of two multicultural festivals organised by two non-profit associations that support social inclusion processes in the Via Padova area of Milan, between 2010 and 2016. In particular, it focuses on the outcomes attributable to the events included in the festivals studied and the role played in shaping these outcomes by the scene styles through which the events were realised. Also, it is proposed an examination of the different meanings the process of organising a cultural event acquires in relation to the scene styles with which this repertoire of action is adopted. The scene styles detailed in this chapter are occasional volunteering, community of interest and community of identity.
