Edition 2025 — Otranto Historic Center Festival

The 24th edition of the Otranto Historic Center Festival took place on June 28 and 29, 2025, for the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Two days dedicated to pizzica and Salento folk music, with a craft market, itinerant gastronomic trail, and the HydroFood&Drink station at Largo Porta Alfonsina. A weekend of tradition and innovation in the village alleys, organized by the Hydro association with the Municipality of Otranto, with free admission.

The 2025 edition of the Historic Center Festival confirmed the formula that has made the local patronal feast a beloved event throughout Salento over the years. On the evenings of June 28 and 29, the squares of the historic center of Otranto hosted pizzica and folk music concerts, with traditional Salento groups and orchestras, while the craft market and the gastronomic trail with typical specialties wound through the alleys. At Largo Porta Alfonsina, the HydroFood&Drink station offered pittule, rustic pizza, and local products. Alongside the music, the event offered storytelling, guided tours, and activities for all ages, reaffirming the Hydro association's commitment to combining tradition and innovation in the Municipality of Otranto, in the Province of Lecce.
