June Fair and Music Festival

A Day to Open the Summer

The June Fair and Music Festival is one of the most anticipated events in the summer calendar of Porto Recanati, a seaside town in the province of Macerata overlooking the Conero Riviera in the Marche region. The event marks the official start of the summer season and coincides, on the same day, with a large trade fair and the celebration of the Music Festival, the European event dedicated to music that falls every year on June 21st.

The Fair on Lungomare Lepanto

From morning to evening, Lungomare Lepanto transforms into a long stretch of stalls. Along the promenade, a stone's throw from the sea, exhibitors and vendors offer a wide selection of goods: local crafts, clothing, accessories, and food specialties from the Marche region. The fair is open approximately from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with a continuous flow of residents, holidaymakers, and curious visitors taking advantage of the day for a stroll along the seafront, enjoying shopping and tasting.

The Music Festival at the Amphitheatre

At sunset, the heart of the event moves to the Natale Mondo Amphitheatre, where the Music Festival takes place. The protagonist of the evening is the Civic Music School of Porto Recanati, which presents a series of free concerts on stage, spanning various genres. It's an opportunity to listen to local students and musical ensembles in a charming outdoor setting, under the stars, in full accordance with the spirit of the Music Festival, which was created to bring music to streets and squares with free admission.

An Event for Everyone

The formula that combines the daytime fair and the evening concerts makes the day suitable for all types of audiences: families with children, groups of friends, couples, and tourists on holiday on the Macerata coast. Admission is free to both the fair and the concerts, and its proximity to the beach allows visitors to alternate between the sea, shopping at the stalls, and live music.

Porto Recanati and the Conero Riviera

Organized by the Municipality of Porto Recanati, the event is also an opportunity to discover the city: the Swabian Castle in the historic center, the characteristic fishermen's village, and the long beach stretching towards the Conero promontory. The June Fair and Music Festival thus represents not only an entertainment event but also a showcase for the town at the start of the tourist season.
