About Borgo in Ballo
An evening dedicated to dance in the Gargano
Borgo in Ballo is the event that transforms Piazza degli Artisti, in the heart of Borgo Celano (a hamlet of San Marco in Lamis, in the province of Foggia), into a grand open-air stage for dance. Created in 2025 by local associations, the event focuses on movement, music, and the joy of being together, involving local dance groups, students, and enthusiasts.
The 2026 theme: "In White"
The second edition features a specific theme: "In White". The public is invited to dress in white to create a more evocative and uniform atmosphere in the square throughout the evening. It is not just a show to watch, but a participatory experience where residents and visitors are drawn into a festive mood, complete with performances, background music, and conviviality.
Dance, movement, and community
The program revolves around performances by local groups and organizations, in collaboration with the amateur sports association Fitness Planet. The goal is to showcase the many facets of dance, from modern to competitive, while highlighting young local talent. The simple and direct format aims to turn the square into a hub for social gathering, offering an evening suitable for all ages.
Part of the Borgo Celano summer
Borgo in Ballo is part of the extensive E.STATE a Borgo Celano calendar, the summer program promoted by the Pro Loco Borgo Celano 2.0 with the patronage of the Municipality of San Marco in Lamis. Throughout the season, the square also hosts other historic local events, such as Borgo Talent, the BorgoRock concert, and the Borgo in Vespa rally: a series of events that bring this corner of the Gargano, nestled between the National Park and the Sanctuary of San Matteo, to life.
Why you should attend
- An evening with free admission, designed for families, young people, and dance enthusiasts.
- A shared theme, "In White", which actively involves the audience.
- The perfect opportunity to discover Borgo Celano and the San Marco in Lamis area at the height of summer.
