Facciamo Furore

A widespread summer in the Fiordo village

Facciamo Furore is the summer festival promoted by the municipal administration of Furore, a small town in the Province of Salerno, Campania, nestled among the terraces of the Amalfi Coast. There is no central square here around which the village revolves: Furore is a scattered village, made of houses spread along the ridge and staircases descending towards the sea. For this reason, the summer program moves from place to place, bringing each event to a different setting and transforming the entire municipal territory into an open-air stage.

The formula is that of a widespread festival: a few events, well-distributed from mid-July to early September, each with its own identity. Music under the stars, entertainment shows with the audience as the protagonist, traditional religious festivals, moments dedicated to the youth, and a gastronomic finale linked to a symbolic local product. The goal declared by the Municipality is to offer opportunities for meeting and sharing in the most evocative points of the village, enhancing the territory with events designed for all ages.

The 2026 program: six events from July to September

The fifth edition, presented as Facciamo Furore – Summer 2026, opens on Saturday, July 18, and closes on Saturday, September 5. Six dates, all in the evening except one, distributed among the viewpoints, small squares, and the coastline:

• July 18, 8:00 PM — Candlelight Concert on Viale dell'Amore: the famous viewpoint turns into an open-air stage illuminated by hundreds of candles, with music accompanying the sunset over the gulf.
• July 31, 8:30 PM — La Corrida in Piazza Mola: the most popular entertainment evening of the festival, built around local amateurs and the complicity of the audience.
• August 9, 9:00 PM — Feast of San Pasquale, enriched by the concert of Alessandro D'Auria: the popular devotion to San Pasquale Baylon joins music in one of the community's most heartfelt evenings.
• August 24, 9:00 PM — Janarea Mystic Fest at the Fiordo di Furore: a show with evocative atmospheres in the village's iconic location, the narrow inlet set between rock walls.
• August 29, from 5:30 PM — Foam Party at Parco della Pellerina: the most playful appointment of the festival, dedicated to children, teenagers, and families.
• September 5, 8:00 PM — Prickly Pear Festival, also at Parco della Pellerina: the traditional festival that closes the Furore summer, celebrating one of the symbolic fruits of the coastal terraces.

The locations: Viale dell'Amore, Piazza Mola, the Fiordo

Much of the charm of Facciamo Furore lies in its locations. Viale dell'Amore is the panoramic path that runs halfway up the coast and offers one of the widest views of the coastline: by candlelight, in the evening, it becomes one of the most photographed settings of the Amalfi summer. Piazza Mola, redeveloped in recent years, is the civic heart of the village, the place where the community meets. The Fiordo di Furore, with its small beach under the bridge arch, is the postcard that has made the village famous worldwide. Finally, Parco della Pellerina is the equipped green space that hosts the most convivial appointments, from children's parties to food stands.

The Prickly Pear Festival, the tastiest finale

The last event of the program is also the most deeply rooted in the village's memory. The prickly pear grows spontaneously on dry-stone walls and terraces that rise from the sea towards the Monti Lattari, and it has always been part of the local diet and landscape. The festival dedicated to it brings together tastings, music, and entertainment, and is traditionally one of the moments when the Furore community gathers in full before the end of summer.

Previous editions

The festival was born in 2022 and has progressively taken shape: in 2024, with the third edition, the program featured nine appointments distributed between August 10 and September 8, with concerts at the Fiordo, the Feast of San Pasquale, the religious Ferragosto, games for children at Parco della Pellerina, and the Prickly Pear Festival. In 2026, the format focused on six dates, widening the time window to include the whole month of July.
