For over thirty years, the festival of the Poggio Tre Galli district, between sport, music, and community
The Festa di Santa Cecilia – Musica e Sport is one of the most beloved events in the Poggio Tre Galli district, in Potenza. Organized by the Parish of Santa Cecilia, the event boasts over thirty years of history and has become a point of reference for families in the neighbourhood and the entire provincial capital of Basilicata.
The heart of the festival are the sports tournaments: five-a-side football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, foosball, and card games, to which disciplines such as street basketball and foot-tennis have been added over the years. A programme designed to involve children, teenagers, and adults, in the spirit of healthy fun and togetherness.
Alongside sport, the festival offers musical evenings and entertainment that liven up the neighbourhood, while the religious dimension culminates in the procession through the streets of the district and the solemn Eucharistic celebration in honour of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music.
As the parish priests recall, the festival aims to be "a reflection of meeting, friendship, solidarity, and inclusion": an occasion for the community of Poggio Tre Galli to come together, strengthening the bonds that make it vibrant.
The 2026 edition of the Festa di Santa Cecilia – Musica e Sport renews the appointment in the Poggio Tre Galli district, with tournaments for all ages, musical shows, and moments of faith linked to the patron saint of music. The parish confirms its holding on its official website.
The program includes, over several days: sports tournaments (five-a-side football, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, foosball, card games, street basketball, and foot-tennis), musical evenings and shows, and religious moments with the procession through the streets of the district and the Eucharistic celebration in honour of Saint Cecilia.
The detailed program with dates and times will be published by the Parish of Santa Cecilia in the weeks preceding the festival.
