The music and food festival in Piazza Garibaldi, Cardito
Cardito in Cantera – Giving Voice to the City is a music and food festival that transforms Piazza Garibaldi in Cardito, near Naples, into a large open-air living room every June. Promoted by the Pro Loco Cardito Share with the patronage of the Municipality of Cardito, the event was born with a clear goal: to return a meeting space to the community and rediscover the local identity through music and regional flavors.
The heart of the evening is live music, the absolute star of a program designed to span generations. Alongside the concerts, food and wine tasting stalls offer local products and specialties from the Campania region, creating a culinary journey that accompanies the public across the square. The event acts as a true collective ritual, focusing on social cohesion and the encounter between tradition and innovation.
Now in its third edition, the festival has established itself as one of the most anticipated events of the Cardito summer. The simple and effective formula aims to enhance the town center and involve families, young people, and associations in a single evening of celebration. The Pro Loco Cardito Share, with the support of numerous local businesses, works every year to enrich the program and make Piazza Garibaldi the meeting point for the entire city.
Located in the area north of Naples, just a few kilometers from the regional capital, Cardito is a town that has invested heavily in participation and community life in recent years. Events like Cardito in Cantera reflect this vocation: turning the square into a place of sociality, where music, food, and sharing become tools for territorial rediscovery and civic pride. An invitation, as the subtitle suggests, to give voice to the city.
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, starting at 8:00 PM, Piazza Garibaldi in Cardito hosted the third edition of Cardito in Cantera – Giving Voice to the City, organized by the Pro Loco Cardito Share with the patronage of the Municipality of Cardito.
The evening featured live music with a performance by Umberto Fiordispino, a singer and guitarist much loved in the area north of Naples, and the band Gli Osea, with a repertoire that spanned generations, performing great hits from the seventies and eighties. Accompanying the concerts, tastings of local products offered the public a journey of rediscovery of the territory through its flavors.
The event takes place in Piazza Garibaldi, in the center of Cardito (NA), in the Campania region.
By car: Cardito is accessible via the Asse Mediano and the SS7 bis, a few kilometers from Naples and the area north of the capital. Public transport links are available by bus to Naples and the neighboring municipalities of the Nola and Giugliano areas.
The event is held outdoors in the square; tastings are offered by the stalls present during the evening.
Organized by the Pro Loco Cardito Share, with the patronage of the Municipality of Cardito.
