Mondello Sport Festival

A sports village on the beach of Mondello

The Mondello Sport Festival is the event that, every spring, turns the famous beach of Mondello, in the Municipality of Palermo, into a large village dedicated to sport, wellness, and music. Promoted and organized by Tonica srl, led by Francesco Tomasello and Alessandro Restivo, with the patronage of the Municipality of Palermo and the Sicilian Region, the event brings four days of energy to the promenade of one of Sicily's most beloved seaside destinations.

Sport for everyone, on the sand and in the water

The heart of the festival is sport, experienced in an open and inclusive way. On the courts set up by the sea, exhibitions and tournaments of beach volleyball, padel, and footvolley take place, while the waters of the gulf host aquatic sports such as surfing, windsurfing, and SUP. There is no shortage of fitness and holistic disciplines, with yoga, calisthenics, crossfit, and cycling sessions open to all ages. Activities are managed by local sports associations and organizations, offering guided lessons and trials accessible even to those simply looking to try a new discipline.

Health and prevention

A unique feature of the event is its focus on health: a dedicated area allows visitors to undergo free screenings for blood glucose and blood pressure, with pharmacists and nutritionists on hand to raise awareness about healthy lifestyles. Sport thus becomes an opportunity for prevention and wellness education.

Music and sunset shows

As the sun sets, the village lights up with concerts and DJ sets featuring nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, including names such as Zero Assoluto, Il Pagante, DJ Tennis, Mr. Belt & Wezol, and Koko. The beach turns into an open-air dance floor, with pop, electronic, and dance music creating a festive atmosphere that lasts until late at night.

An experience for the whole family

The offering is completed by a food & drinks area with food trucks, relaxation zones, and spaces designed for families. Free and open-air, the Mondello Sport Festival is now a staple of early May that showcases an active lifestyle, the sea, and the identity of the Palermitan seaside village, helping to promote Mondello as a premier tourist destination in Sicily.
