BAM Festival

The BAM Festival in Borgo a Mozzano

The BAM Festival is the most beloved summer event in Borgo a Mozzano, a town in the Media Valle del Serchio in the province of Lucca, in the heart of Tuscany. For over three weeks, the town transforms into a vibrant hub for music, entertainment, and food lovers, with a rich and engaging program that brings together different genres, styles, and generations. The winning formula has been tried and tested for over forty years: many consecutive nights of live music, always with completely free admission.

Over forty years of history

Founded in the early eighties, the BAM Festival has grown with each edition to become one of the flagship summer events in the province of Lucca. Over the years, it has also been known as the "Beer Festival," a nickname that perfectly captures its convivial and popular spirit. The 2026 edition marks the milestone of 42 years of history, confirming a deep bond with the local area and the many people who bring the town's sports field to life every summer.

Music for every taste

The BAM Festival lineup is designed to satisfy a wide and diverse audience: every night, the stage hosts a different act, ranging from tribute bands dedicated to the greatest names in Italian and international music to cover groups, local ensembles, DJs, and themed nights. Over the years, the festival has featured nights dedicated to nineties music, rock, indie, and the great classics of Italian song, with events suitable for families, young people, and nostalgic fans alike.

More than just concerts

Surrounding the stage is a true festival village: a restaurant area and food court with specialties to enjoy, a characteristic Bavarian area with draft beer, a funfair for the little ones, and numerous markets and stalls. It is the perfect opportunity to spend the evening enjoying good food, the cool evening air, and plenty of music, in the informal and family-friendly atmosphere that is the hallmark of the event.

Organization

The BAM Festival is organized by the Municipality of Borgo a Mozzano in collaboration with local organizations that manage the event's operations. In recent years, the artistic direction has been entrusted to Fabio Belli, who curates the rich calendar of events. The fact that all concerts are free makes the festival truly accessible to everyone, a symbol of a community that has known how to celebrate together for decades.
