Edition 2025 — Notte Nera

The 2025 edition of La Notte Nera took place on Sunday, August 17, 2025, in the historic center of Scanno, marking its fourth edition. The village was illuminated only by torches, lanterns, and candles, hosting over twenty street artists from all over Italy, including acrobats, jugglers, fire performers, dancers, and visual artists, as well as two live bands playing rock, folk, and pop, and a DJ set that kept the crowd dancing until late at night.

La Notte Nera 2025, the fourth edition of the event, brought the historic center of Scanno to life on Sunday, August 17, 2025. During the Ferragosto weekend, the Abruzzo village turned off its electric lighting to drape itself in the light of torches, lanterns, and candles alone.

Along the alleys, over twenty street artists from all over Italy performed, featuring acrobatics, juggling, fire shows, dance, and visual performances. On the musical front, two live bands offered a repertoire ranging from rock to folk and pop, followed by a DJ set that kept the party going until late at night. Food and wine stalls and local venues rounded out a free-admission evening that drew thousands of visitors.
