Ferragosto Concert

High-altitude Ferragosto in Sestriere

The Ferragosto Concert is one of the most beloved highlights of the summer in Sestriere, Italy's highest municipality, perched at an altitude of 2,035 meters in the upper Susa Valley, in the province of Turin, Piedmont. Every August 15th, the central Piazza Fraiteve transforms into a grand open-air stage, where live music, dancing, and festivities accompany residents and visitors during the warmest evening of the Alpine summer.

A free public celebration

Organized by the Pro Loco of Sestriere, the concert is free to attend: it is the perfect opportunity to experience Ferragosto in the mountains, away from the city heat. The atmosphere is that of a classic high-altitude village festival, with the square bustling, lights glowing as the sun sets, and music inviting everyone to dance under the starry sky of the Cottian Alps.

Live music for everyone

Over the years, the Ferragosto Concert has featured various formats: folk and traditional orchestras, entertainment shows, and, most notably, dance evenings dedicated to the greatest hits of pop and dance music. It is an event designed for all ages, from families to young people, defined by its spirit of conviviality and outdoor fun.

Sestriere in summer

The Ferragosto Concert is part of a rich calendar of summer events that enliven Sestriere throughout the season, including sporting events, markets, film screenings, and musical evenings. The resort, famous as a ski destination in the Vialattea area, becomes an ideal summer hub for hiking, events, and celebrations, with Ferragosto marking the peak of this excitement. Attending the concert is also a chance to discover the unique atmosphere of a lively and welcoming Alpine village, where the tradition of mountain festivities is at home.

An unmissable appointment

Between a breath of fresh mountain air and the warmth of a great collective celebration, the Sestriere Ferragosto Concert is the perfect way to wrap up the highlight of the summer. A free event, accessible to all, which every year reaffirms the deep bond between the town and its community of residents and loyal holidaymakers.
