Marina Fest

Marina Fest 2025: two days of celebration by the sea

The 2025 edition of Marina Fest, postponed to October 25 and 26, enlivened the squares and promenade of Marina di Ragusa with a widespread and free program. Saturday the 25th opened with a musical aperitif and DJ set in Piazza Torre, followed by the Violin & Sax duo of Daniele Ricca and Peppe Firreira, the live concert by Radio Freccia at the Rotonda, the "Notte Tricolore" with Italian music, and a live performance by Retro Ska in Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi, with roaming street bands along the pedestrian streets.

Sunday the 26th was dedicated to families with bouncy castles and entertainment, a "singing lunch" with a DJ set, and the "Notte Italiana" performance. The highlight came at sunset at the Rotonda sul mare with the "Emozioni" concert: Gianmarco Carroccio sang Lucio Battisti accompanied by a nine-piece orchestra. The event, promoted by the Municipality of Ragusa, confirmed the festival's vocation for combining music, tradition, and the promotion of the Iblean territory.
