Cerignola Summer Mood

A summer of events in the heart of Puglia

Cerignola Summer Mood is the festival that ignites the summer in Cerignola, a city in the province of Foggia and the agricultural heart of the Tavoliere delle Puglie. Promoted by the municipal administration, the event transforms the city's most evocative squares and locations into open-air stages throughout July, featuring a lineup that blends pop music, singer-songwriters, rap, comedy, and theater.

Big names between Piazza Duomo and Villa Comunale

The 2026 program features a series of nationally acclaimed events. It kicks off with the comedy and impressions of Francesco Cicchella in Piazza Duomo, followed by the rap and hits of Fred De Palma in the Castello area along Corso Gramsci. Theater is also on the bill, with a performance by Raffaello Tullo and Martina Salvatore at Palazzo Fornari, while the grand finale in July is entrusted to an icon of Italian music, Iva Zanicchi, performing at the Villa Comunale.

A widespread festival for everyone

The strength of Cerignola Summer Mood lies in its widespread nature: shows move from night to night between the city's landmark locations, from Piazza Duomo with its imposing Cattedrale del Duomo Tonti to the lush Villa Comunale and the spaces of Palazzo Fornari. The program is designed to reach diverse audiences, from young people and families to the elderly, with evenings of music, cabaret, and television-style entertainment.

The setting: Cerignola and the Tavoliere

The festival is part of a broader investment by the Municipality of Cerignola in the city's summer season, with resources dedicated to organizing concerts and shows with nationally renowned artists. For those visiting inland Puglia, it is an opportunity to discover a city often off the beaten tourist path but rich in history, food and wine traditions, and vibrant street life, in a month of July that turns into one long open-air stage.
