Contemporary music, DJ sets and street food on the Grottammare seafront
The Diffusioni Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Grottammare, a gem of the Riviera delle Palme in the province of Ascoli Piceno, in the Marche region. Every year, in early August, the green area of the Foce del Tesino - the so-called Prato sul Mare, along Lungomare Alcide De Gasperi - comes alive with a stage, food stalls, and thousands of people, becoming the evening meeting point for the entire riviera.
The soul of the festival is contemporary music in its most diverse forms: rap and trap, pop, dance, and 80s revival, with live concerts alternating with DJ sets until late at night. The festival has the ability to capture the current stars of the Italian scene and, at the same time, offer popular dance nights that engage a very wide audience. Over the years, the Diffusioni stage has hosted artists such as Dargen D'Amico and Piotta, confirming a vocation that blends quality and entertainment.
Organized by Brothers Management with the support of the City of Grottammare, the Diffusioni Festival has established itself over time as one of the main attractions on the Piceno coast, capable of drawing spectators from all over southern Marche and neighboring Abruzzo. The setting is one of the most beloved seaside resorts on the Adriatic, with its ancient village perched on the hill and its palm-lined promenade: after the beach, in the evening, people gather at the Foce del Tesino for music, food, and socializing.
The 7th edition of the Diffusioni Festival takes place at the Foce del Tesino in Grottammare from August 5th to 8th, 2026, along Lungomare Alcide De Gasperi.
