Agerola World Music Festival

A festival in the alleys of Bomerano

The Agerola World Music Festival is the event that brings the village of Bomerano, a hamlet of Agerola on the heights of the Amalfi Coast near Naples, to life every third weekend in July. For three consecutive evenings, the streets of the historic center, small squares, and alleys turn into a vast, open-air stage where world music meets local Campanian traditions and regional flavors.

Music, from the alleys to the square

The festival has a dual spirit. Starting at 8:00 PM, the so-called village groups enliven the alleys and clearings with a rich program spanning genres, cultures, and continents: from Campanian folk to blues, soul, and tribute bands. Later, around 10:00 PM, the main concerts take the stage in the heart of the village, in Piazza Paolo Capasso, featuring nationally acclaimed artists. It is a journey that invites the audience to wander, listen, and be surprised at every turn.

The Bread Festival and the flavors of Agerola

The event is inextricably linked to the Bread Festival, which gives the festival its nickname of "ancient village of music and bread." Agerola is famous for its bread, fiordilatte, and dairy products. Throughout the evenings, visitors can follow a gastronomic trail through the village streets, featuring traditional Campanian menus including caponata, peasant-style pasta, sausage and provola sandwiches, local desserts, and drinks. Gastronomy thus becomes an integral part of the show, in a continuous dialogue between music and conviviality.

A village to experience

Situated at an altitude of over 600 meters, Agerola is the starting point for the famous Path of the Gods and offers a privileged view of the Amalfi Coast. The World Music Festival is the perfect opportunity to discover the identity of this Campania territory: its rural roots, its music, and its flavors. A summer appointment that unites residents and tourists in an atmosphere of popular celebration, accessible to all and free of charge.
