Meteore Music Festival

A night of stars and music at Marausa Lido

The Meteore Music Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in the municipality of Misiliscemi, a young town in the Province of Trapani, on the western tip of Sicily. Every year, on the evocative St. Lawrence's Night on August 10th, the beach of Marausa Lido turns into a grand stage overlooking the sea, facing the Egadi Islands.

The festival format

The event is conceived and coordinated by the Misiliscemi Youth Council and stands out for its rich, non-stop line-up: from sunset until late at night, artists of different styles and diverse formations take the stage. The program ranges from bands and soloists to DJ sets, culminating with a major guest from the Italian music scene who closes the evening. The philosophy is that of a community-focused festival that still manages to attract an audience far beyond the local area.

More than just concerts

For the occasion, the beach becomes a small village: an open-air "theater under the stars," areas and stalls dedicated to tasting local products, and stations serving street food and local wine. You can enjoy an aperitif by the sea at sunset and dine comfortably on the beach in an informal, family-friendly atmosphere, under the sky of the shooting stars that characterize St. Lawrence's Night.

A growing event

Founded just a few years ago, the Meteore Music Festival has quickly become one of the highlights of the Sere d'Estate (Summer Evenings) summer program in Misiliscemi, consolidating a focus on events capable of attracting audiences beyond the local basin. Free admission and the natural setting of the Marausa coast have made it a landmark for young people, families, and tourists spending their summer in western Sicily.

Marausa Lido and the surrounding area

Marausa Lido is a seaside district of the municipality of Misiliscemi, located along the sandy coastline that connects Trapani to the mouth of the Birgi River. It is an ideal location to combine a day at the beach with a great musical evening, just a few kilometers from Trapani, the Birgi airport, and the historic salt pans. With its free, community-oriented approach, the festival is the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic Trapani summer.
