Marea Festival

Marea Festival in Montesilvano

The Marea Festival is the premier live music event of the summer in Montesilvano, a seaside town in the province of Pescara, Abruzzo. Every year, in late August, the Lungomare Aldo Moro hosts a grand stage directly facing the Adriatic, where some of the most beloved names in the Italian music scene perform over three consecutive nights.

A festival by the sea

The atmosphere of Marea Festival is typical of summer nights on the Adriatic coast: the sea breeze, the large and enthusiastic young crowd, and concerts starting after sunset. The concert area, set up on the town's seafront, welcomes thousands of spectators drawn by a lineup that ranges from pop to rap, and from singer-songwriter hits to major summer tours. The festival is organized by the Municipality of Montesilvano and is part of the broader Estate Montesilvanese calendar, which brings dozens of events to the city from June to September, including music, shows, and family activities.

Pop, rap, and singer-songwriter music

Since its very first edition, Marea Festival has focused on a mix of genres capable of attracting a broad and diverse audience. Alongside major tours by Italian singer-songwriters, the stage features rap and trap stars, as well as free-entry evenings designed for families and younger fans. This formula has quickly made the event a benchmark for summer entertainment in Abruzzo.

An event for all of Abruzzo

Thanks to its strategic position on the Adriatic coast and its proximity to Pescara, Marea Festival attracts spectators from across the region and beyond. The nights on the Lungomare Aldo Moro have become a highly anticipated moment at the end of the Montesilvano summer, perfectly blending a seaside vacation with major live concerts.
