Evenings to Live For - Summer in Sirolo
Sirolo's grand summer of music, theatre, and shows on the Conero Riviera
About Evenings to Live For
Sirolo's Stellar Summer
Every year, from late spring to September, the Municipality of Sirolo (Province of Ancona) lights up its richest summer program: the Evenings to Live For festival, a widespread calendar of over 200 events that animate the squares, churches, panoramic viewpoints, and especially the Arena Parco della Repubblica, a natural terrace overlooking the Conero sea. For the 2026 edition, the organization is handled by Universal Events together with the municipal administration.
A Village Perched on the Conero
Sirolo is one of the jewels of the Conero Riviera, in the Marche region: a medieval village perched above postcard-perfect beaches like San Michele and Due Sorelle, awarded the Blue Flag every year. It is precisely this setting – the green of the Conero Park, the blue of the Adriatic, the walls and squares of the historic center – that makes every evening unique, where a sunset concert or a show under the stars becomes a complete experience.
Music, Comedy, and Big Names
The pulsating heart of the festival is the programming at the Arena Parco della Repubblica, which attracts top names in Italian music and entertainment. Alongside concerts by major artists, there is theatre, monologues, comedy, meetings with writers and speakers, dance, and open-air cinema. Most events have free admission; only about ten evenings, those with major headliners, are ticketed with advance sales on TicketOne.
Not Just the Arena
Sirolo's cultural offerings go beyond concerts: the Franco Enriquez National Award dedicated to theatre, the organ festival Le ore dell'organo (The Hours of the Organ) in the Church of San Nicola, open-air cinema, the Ballo sotto le stelle (Dance Under the Stars) evenings, the Notte Bianca dei Bambini (White Night for Children), and the traditional dawn concert on August 15th in Piazza Vittorio Veneto. A season designed for all ages and tastes, capable of transforming the entire Sirolo summer into one long, continuous celebration.
