About AESTIVA

AESTIVA is the umbrella event that brings together all of Campomarino's summer, on the Adriatic coast of Molise. From June to September, the ancient village, Campomarino Lido, and the hamlet of Nuova Cliternia host a packed calendar of concerts, comedy shows, open-air cinema, cultural events, and food and wine gatherings. Organized by the Municipality and the Institution for Tourist and Cultural Services, the review has featured artists like Le Vibrazioni, BigMama, Bobby Solo, LDA, and MV Killa over the years, alternating major concerts, food festivals (sagre), street artist festivals, and reenactments of the town's Arbëreshë identity.

Campomarino's Summer in a Single Program

AESTIVA is the brand that, year after year, brings together Campomarino's entire summer programming, in the province of Campobasso. It's not a single event but a three-month review, from June to September, involving the three hearts of the town: the perched ancient village, the lively Campomarino Lido on the seafront, and the hamlet of Nuova Cliternia.

Music, Comedy, and Cinema

The program alternates major concerts — in the past, Le Vibrazioni, BigMama, Bobby Solo, ORO, LDA, MV Killa — with comedy nights (the Comedy Summer Festival), open-air cinema, and tribute bands on the Aviators' seafront and in Piazza Falcone. The Lido's squares transform into open-air stages throughout August.

Tradition and Identity

Alongside light music, AESTIVA celebrates Campomarino's deeper soul: the event Kemarh between past and present reenacts the community's Arbëreshë origins, the Feast of Santa Cristina celebrates the patron saint, while the Feast of the Woods in Fantinia and the White Night of Street Artists bring magic and street arts to the village and the Lido.

Taste and Sport

There are also food and wine events, like the Borgo del Gusto, and sports events, most notably the international Campohockey tournament in September. In short, AESTIVA is the common thread that ties together the summer of one of Molise's most popular seaside resorts.

AESTIVA — edition 2026

The 2026 edition of AESTIVA returns to animate Campomarino's summer from June to September. The full program, with concerts, comedy, cinema, cultural events, and food and wine gatherings between the ancient village, Lido, and Nuova Cliternia, will be published by the Municipality and the Institution for Tourist and Cultural Services in the weeks preceding the season.

For 2026, AESTIVA once again confirms itself as the framework for Campomarino's summer, in the province of Campobasso. The program, running from June to September, reprises the formula of previous years: major concerts, comedy nights, open-air cinema, events on Arbëreshë culture, the Feast of Santa Cristina, the Borgo del Gusto, and the Campohockey tournament. Among the events already announced for summer 2026 are the rock night with tribute band The Cavern (July 5) and Morgan's concert in Nuova Cliternia for the Madonna Grande festival (August 15).
