About Civitaquana Beer Festival
A beer festival in the hills of Civitaquana
The Civitaquana Beer Festival is the annual summer beer celebration that brings Civitaquana to life, a charming hilltop village in the province of Pescara, Abruzzo. Perched on a hill overlooking the Pescara river valley, with views stretching toward the Gran Sasso and Majella massifs, the village turns into a vibrant open-air venue for a weekend in August, dedicated to beer, great food, and music.
The event is organized by the Pro Loco of Civitaquana, the association that has been curating the town's summer calendar for years. What began as a small local initiative has grown edition after edition to become one of the most anticipated events of the Civitaquana summer, easily recognized by its catchy local motto, #cidavinì.
Beer, arrosticini, and street food
The heart of the festival lies in its draft beer stands, paired with the essential arrosticini and other Abruzzese culinary specialties prepared by local volunteers. Between one pint and the next, guests can enjoy traditional dishes and street food while strolling through the squares and alleys of the historic center, decorated with stalls, lights, and open-air seating.
Live music and village atmosphere
Evenings are filled with live music and entertainment, with concerts and DJ sets providing the soundtrack until late at night. Admission is free, and the atmosphere is that of a genuine Abruzzese village feast: families, young people, and visitors from neighboring towns gather to toast under the summer sky of Civitaquana.
A highlight of the Civitaquana summer
The Civitaquana Beer Festival is part of the town's rich summer program, which also includes open-air cinema, the Olive Oil Festival, the patronal feast in honor of Saint Egidio, and other popular events promoted by the municipality and local associations. For those visiting inland Abruzzo in summer, it is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic village far from the beaten tourist path, surrounded by hills, traditions, and warm hospitality.
