About Brolo Jazz Festival

The Brolo DOC Jazz Festival is the summer music series that transforms the Brolo coastline, on the Tyrrhenian side of Messina, into an elegant open-air stage overlooking the Aeolian Islands every August. As the successor to the Doc Festival, the event brings great voices and instrumentalists of jazz and Italian singer-songwriter music to the Luigi Rizzo seafront, with free admission and artistic direction by Sergio Camuti. An evening of refined music under the stars, a true symbol of the Brolo summer.

Signature jazz takes center stage in Brolo

The Brolo DOC Jazz Festival is one of the most anticipated musical events of the summer on the Tyrrhenian coast of the Messina province. Every August, the Municipality of Brolo hosts a program dedicated to jazz, swing, and Italian singer-songwriter music on its seafront, attracting a large audience of both locals and tourists vacationing along the Sicilian coast.

A unique setting overlooking the Aeolian Islands

The festival evenings take place on the Luigi Rizzo Seafront, which transforms into an open-air theater with a view of the sea and, on clear days, the silhouette of the Aeolian Islands. The natural scenery of the Brolo coastline, combined with the quality of the programming, makes this event one of the top cultural highlights of the summer in the Nebrodi area.

From the Doc Festival to Brolo Jazz

The event was born as an evolution of the previous Doc Festival and has progressively established itself as a benchmark jazz festival for the region. The artistic direction is entrusted to Sergio Camuti, who curates a selection of prominent national and international names every year, alternating between established performers and original projects. The organization is handled by the Municipality of Brolo, which includes the festival in a broader calendar of summer events.

Music and quality under the stars

  • Evening concerts starting around 9:30 PM
  • Free admission for the public
  • Great voices of Italian jazz and singer-songwriter music
  • Seafront setting, between the beach and the historic center

Over the years, the festival stage has hosted artists such as Simona Molinari, Flo, and Federica D'Andrea, confirming the Brolo DOC Jazz Festival's commitment to combining great music with the tourism promotion of Brolo and the entire Tyrrhenian Sicily.
