About End of Summer Festival

The End of Summer Festival is the convivial gathering that marks the end of the summer season in the Santa Teresa district of Spoltore, in the province of Pescara. Amidst the greenery of the Santa Teresa Park, the community comes together for an evening of music, dancing under the stars, and fine Abruzzese cuisine, featuring the essential arrosticini. Born as a youth-led initiative, the festival blends sportsmanship, social connection, and fun in a final farewell to the warm evenings before the autumn return.

The festival that bids farewell to summer in Spoltore

The End of Summer Festival has become one of the most anticipated end-of-season events in the Santa Teresa district, in the Municipality of Spoltore, Pescara province. Set in the picturesque Santa Teresa Park, the event transforms the large green space into a meeting place for the entire community, gathering to celebrate the conclusion of the Abruzzese summer together.

Music, dancing, and conviviality under the stars

The heart of the evening is the convivial party: dancing under the stars, singing at the top of your lungs, and sharing memories of the summer just passed. The program alternates between live musical performances and a long DJ set that keeps the crowd going until late at night. There is no shortage of local gastronomic specialties, with Abruzzese arrosticini serving as the undisputed stars of the evening festivities in the Pescara area.

An initiative born from the youth

The event is promoted by the K-JGEM Santa Teresa association with the participation of the Municipality of Spoltore. As highlighted by the municipal administration, this is a local youth-led initiative with both sporting and socio-cultural significance: the festival serves as an occasion to present the local basketball team and to strengthen the bonds within the Santa Teresa community.

A piece of the Spoltore summer

The End of Summer Festival represents the grand finale of a rich summer calendar that animates Spoltore from July to September, featuring historical re-enactments, patronal feasts, theater festivals, and musical evenings. Located on the first hills of the Pescara hinterland, just a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, Spoltore offers a moment of authentic Abruzzese social life, where tradition, music, and cuisine merge into an evening of celebration open to everyone.
