volcarse con

Good morning everybody!
I'm not quiet satisfied with my translation for "volcarse con" so I ask you to give me a hand on this one.
Any suggestions?
Here's the context:
Este calendario es uno de los legados del campeonato celebrado el pasado junio y en el que toda la ciudad se volcó de manera excepcional.
This calendar is the result of the Championship held last June, an event widely supported by local residents.
Not happy with my proposal so far. I've checked several dictionaries and found "throw onself into something" but I haven't found many references on google.
TIA for your help.
Regards,
Ana

Although your own (widely supported ) suggestion is fine, there are indeed several ways to skin this cat:
= "...the whole town pulled out all the stops..."

Even verging on the ridiculous: " ... The whole town went binkies/bonkers/full throttle supporting the event..."

Of course, there are umpteen ways to express this. I don't necessarily agree that "supported" will be the best option, but it's certainly a safe one. I need more context before suggesting a Goldilocks version.

For example, for an equestrian competition "unbridled support"could be an option:

The headline in my local newspaper today is:" Valencia se vuelca con su Maratón", which could be translated as "Massive turnout for Valencia Marathon"...

"This calendar (or schedule) is a legacy/spinoff from the Championship held last June, with a massive turnout by local residents"...

NB: My original suggestion "with gusto" is probably not the best option, but the meaning (wholeheartedly) is the same...

Muriel Vasconcellos
: My hardcopy Martínez-Amador says: 'to make dizzy or giddy'. I was going to post a separate answer based on the idea of a big turnout, but after I read the M-A suggestions (about a dozen), I decided that the "giddy" one was closest to this context.

I now like "massive turnout/turned out en masse to support"....

| agree |
Charles Davis
: Not join in, IMO, because it implies everyone competed in the championship, which is unlikely. "Supported" is best.

To me, "join in" has a wider meaning for the public at large, like "really got behind" the event...

got involved willingly/wholeheartedly
Join may be misunderstood as "physically participating in th event, whereas what the sentence means is that the "deeply supported the event"
