Fireworks displays over the sea in Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala
Fuochi a Mare is one of the most beloved events of the summer in Castiglione della Pescaia, a pearl of the Maremma in the Province of Grosseto, Tuscany. It is a series of fireworks displays launched directly from the sea: the fireworks ignite at the mouth of the harbor and in front of the beaches, creating light shows that reflect on the water and can be admired comfortably from the seafront, the piers, and the terraces of the village.
For the 2026 edition, the Municipality of Castiglione della Pescaia has included Fuochi a Mare among the major events of the official calendar, with four fireworks displays spread between the main town and the hamlet of Punta Ala. It is a proven formula that connects the two tourist hearts of the territory: the medieval village perched on the hill of Castiglione, with its harbor and the Ponente seafront, and the elegant resort of Punta Ala, overlooking the Tuscan Archipelago.
The shows are held in the evening, late at night, when the darkness on the horizon allows the colors of the pyrotechnics to express themselves to the fullest. It is a perfect opportunity to end a day at the beach with a stroll along the promenade, eyes fixed on the water.
Fuochi a Mare is part of the rich summer program of the Municipality of Castiglione della Pescaia, which enlivens the Maremma coast during the warm season with concerts, literary reviews, music festivals, and family events. The fireworks series represents one of its most scenic and iconic moments: a collective ritual that, for years, has marked the transitions of the beach season in the Grosseto Maremma.
The 2026 edition of Fuochi a Mare features four fireworks displays over the sea of Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala, confirmed by the Municipality as part of the season's major events. The announced dates include appointments in the heart of summer, in August, and an autumn evening in early October that traditionally closes the beach calendar.
The free shows are visible from the beaches, piers, and the Ponente seafront. The detailed program, with precise times and the complete list of evenings, is published by the Municipality in the weeks preceding each event.
