Aqua Festival
Music and culture on the Jesolo shoreline, where sand meets water
About Aqua Festival
A Festival on the Beach
There's a festival in Jesolo that you experience literally with your feet in the sand: it's Festival Aqua, the music and culture event held on the beach of Piazza Brescia, on the shore of the renowned seaside resort in the province of Venice. The stage is set up directly on the beach, and the audience watches the shows bringing their own towels: an experience that uniquely blends concert and landscape.
Where Sand Meets Water
The edition's theme, "On the Shore", perfectly captures the festival's soul: exploring the emotions that arise where sand meets water, creating a dialogue between nature, art, and music. The lineup alternates major concerts with talks featuring writers, educators, and prominent figures from the Italian cultural scene.
Authorial Music and Culture
Festival Aqua brings leading names in Italian music and culture to Jesolo, from singer-songwriters to pianists, from journalism to fiction. Many events offer free admission, while some main concerts require a ticket: a formula that makes the festival accessible to a wide audience.
A Quality Offering on the Coast
Promoted in Jesolo with the organizational direction of New Age Club, Festival Aqua has become a benchmark event for the Veneto summer, capable of offering the Venice coastline high-level musical and cultural programming in a suggestive natural setting.
Aqua Festival — edition 2026
The 4th edition of Festival Aqua enlivens the Piazza Brescia beach in Jesolo from June 9 to 26, 2026, with the theme "On the Shore". The lineup alternates concerts by big names — from Raphael Gualazzi to Niccolò Fabi, from Dardust to music and spoken word events — with talks featuring cultural figures like Stefano Nazzi, Chiara Francini, and Mauro Corona. The shows are held on the beach (bringing a towel is recommended). Many events are free.
