Levante Arena Summer Season
The grand seaside summer arena in Giovinazzo, featuring concerts, theater, and festivals
About Levante Arena
A summer arena on the Giovinazzo seafront
The Levante Arena Summer Season is the festival series that transforms the Lungomare Marina Italiana in Giovinazzo, in the heart of the coast north of Bari, into one of Apulia's premier live entertainment hubs every summer. Spanning 10,000 square meters overlooking the Adriatic, the Levante Arena is considered the largest private arena in Southern Italy: a space immersed in nature, just a stone's throw from the sea, designed to become a cultural landmark for the entire Bari coastline.
A diverse program
The season's programming is intentionally diverse, blending music, theater, tribute acts, symphonic productions, and major festivals. Audiences can enjoy everything from sophisticated comedy theater to pop and singer-songwriter concerts, and from international sounds to grand tributes to Italian music. Alongside ticketed shows, the schedule always includes free events open to the entire community, featuring gastronomy, craft beer, and live music.
Big names and international productions
Guests who have graced the arena stage include top names from the Italian and international scene, from the brilliant theater of Vincenzo Salemme to the music of Sal Da Vinci and Tropico, as well as the legendary Buena Vista Social Club and symphonic tributes to Ennio Morricone's film scores. This mix makes every evening an event capable of attracting spectators from all over Apulia and beyond.
A project for the local area
The Levante Arena is the result of an entrepreneurial project by Levante Entertainment Srl, with the support of the Municipality of Giovinazzo. The festival is about more than just entertainment: the season's closing nights, such as the Open Fest โ Community Day, involve local associations and bands and donate proceeds to charity, strengthening the bond between the arena and the local community.
