Bitritto Beer Festival

The Bitritto Beer Festival

Every summer, the Giardini Campi del Sole on Via Papa Pio XII in Bitritto host the Beer Festival, an open-air event beloved by locals and residents of the Bari hinterland. Set in a spacious green area just outside Bari, the festival combines draft beer, convivial food, and live music in the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere characteristic of Apulian summer nights.

An event in the heart of the Metropolitan City of Bari

Bitritto is a small town in the Metropolitan City of Bari, Puglia, known for its Norman-Swabian castle and its proximity to the regional capital. The Giardini Campi del Sole have established themselves as one of the town's favorite summer meeting spots: a well-equipped garden where dinner, entertainment, and socializing blend together on July evenings, when the temperature invites you to enjoy the outdoors until late at night.

Beer, food, and conviviality

At the heart of the festival is, of course, the beer, served on tap and accompanied by a menu designed for sharing: sandwiches, grilled meats, fried snacks, and traditional local dishes. Food and wine stalls enliven the garden throughout the evening, while children and families find space in a safe and welcoming environment. It is the classic format of an Apulian village festival, where good drinks and genuine food become an occasion for meeting up.

Music and evenings under the stars

The soundtrack of the event is provided by concerts, bands, and DJ sets that keep the audience entertained until late. In recent editions, the festival has been spread across multiple dates throughout July, with events dedicated to live music and entertainment, turning the Giardini Campi del Sole into an open-air stage overlooking the Bari countryside.

Practical information

The Bitritto Beer Festival takes place in the summer, generally in the month of July, with free entry to the gardens and consumption at the stalls.
