Magia al Castello – Street Artists Festival

An evening of magic in the heart of Cepagatti

Magia al Castello – Street Artists Festival is one of the most anticipated summer events in Cepagatti, a town in the Province of Pescara, Abruzzo. For one night, the town's historic center turns into a fairytale setting: magicians, jugglers, acrobats, and street performers roam the illuminated alleys and squares, surprising and delighting audiences of all ages.

A widespread show among the murals

The backdrop is the charming ancient village of Cepagatti, adorned with stunning murals that tell the story and traditions of the region. It is precisely against these colorful walls that the show comes to life: magic tricks, feats of dexterity, acrobatic performances, and dancers suspended on aerial silks create a dreamlike, suspended atmosphere that captivates both adults and children as they stroll from one corner of the center to another.

Music, wonder, and stargazing

Beyond street performers, recent editions have combined entertainment with scientific curiosity: stations equipped with telescopes have allowed the public to observe stars, the moon, and planets in the summer sky, accompanied by insights from an astronomer. An unusual blend of magic and science that makes Magia al Castello an event distinct from typical village festivals.

An event of the great Cepagatti summer

The appointment is part of the rich Cepagatti Estate program, the festival that accompanies residents and visitors from June to September with patronal feasts, food festivals, concerts, sports, and popular traditions. Organized by the Municipality of Cepagatti together with the Pro Loco, festival committees, and local associations, Magia al Castello is a free event that every August attracts families and curious visitors from the entire Pescara metropolitan area.
