Summer 2025: the events

Also this year the summer comes with a rich program of events designed for everyone: concerts, comedy shows, theater, dance, cabaret, cultural events and lots of good music. July and August are transformed into two months of festivities, with evenings dedicated to sharing, entertainment and the enhancement of our cultural heritage and landscape.

Among the most suggestive scenarios of the program stand out the Bordonaro Castle, the Seafront, the Cicero Theatre and the hilly hamlet of Sant’Ambrogio, which will be the setting for performances by established artists and local talents.

All events are free to enter, unless otherwise stated.
