Campus Festival

The Forlì Students' Festival

The Campus Festival is now a regular fixture of the Forlì spring: born in 2016, it fills the green spaces of the University Campus of Forlì every year, around Piazzale Igino Lega and the Teaching Hub, transforming them into a large open space for music, culture, and sharing. It's much more than just a concert: it's the moment when the university community of Alma Mater Studiorum — University of Bologna meets the entire city, in the heart of the Province of Forlì-Cesena, in Emilia-Romagna.

What to expect

For two days, the Campus comes alive from late afternoon until late at night. The programme blends different languages: live concerts with emerging and established artists from the national and international scene (including rock, electronic, pop, and indie), sunset DJ sets and afterparties, as well as talks and workshops dedicated to current affairs, innovation, technology, rights, environment, and culture.

• Music: main stage with bands and DJ sets, from sunset until late evening.
• Talks and workshops: meetings with guests on current affairs, innovation, and society.
• Art and creativity: installations, live painting, and artistic performances.
• Food & drink area: food trucks, craft beers, and international cuisine.
• Sport and games: tournaments and recreational activities open to all, such as the historic 3-on-3 basketball tournament.

A local event

The Campus Festival is organised by a network of local youth organisations — Jump Group and Jump Cafè together with Heco, College Fest, and Jump in da Basket — involving student associations from the Forlì Campus (UDU, Radio Jump, Atlas, Modus, and others) and sponsored by the Municipality of Forlì and the University of Bologna. Admission is by free donation, starting from a few euros, to keep the festival accessible to everyone and true to its spirit as a popular and participatory event.
