Clown Festival

The Clown Festival in Terlizzi

The Clown Festival is an outdoor event dedicated to families, enlivening the S.E.R.R.E., an event space immersed in the green countryside of Terlizzi, in the province of Bari. The venue is located in Contrada Parco, along the provincial road connecting Terlizzi to Ruvo di Puglia, in a natural setting that offers a cooler and more relaxed atmosphere than the city. Organized by the Zorba Social Cooperative, the day combines entertainment, play, and conviviality in an atmosphere designed especially for the little ones.

A festival for all ages

The program runs throughout the day, alternating between showtimes and areas dedicated to relaxation. The stars are the clowns and street performers, who mingle with the audience with comedy acts, juggling, and interactive entertainment. These are accompanied by games and recreational activities suitable for all ages in a lighthearted, family-friendly environment. Access is limited by the organizers to prevent overcrowding and ensure everyone can enjoy the event in peace.

The taste of tradition

Participants can choose to organize a picnic in the equipped areas or rely on the on-site food stalls. Among the gastronomic offerings, the zampina stands out—a typical grilled sausage from the Murgia tradition and a symbol of local cuisine, which can be pre-ordered when purchasing tickets. A bar service completes the offering with drinks and refreshments for the whole family.

An event rooted in the territory

The Clown Festival is part of the calendar of initiatives that bring the S.E.R.R.E. of Terlizzi to life, a place that has become a landmark for concerts, shows, and outdoor parties in Puglia. The format, which weaves together street arts, nature, and local products, highlights the Terlizzi countryside as a backdrop for a shared experience, inviting families from the municipality and the entire Metropolitan City of Bari to spend a day together in total carefree spirit.
