Multiculturita Summer Festival

The Multiculturita Summer Festival

The Multiculturita Summer Festival is among the most enduring and beloved music events in Puglia. Established in 2003, it transforms Capurso, a town in the Metropolitan City of Bari, into a hub for live music in Southern Italy every July. Its formula, which has remained faithful over the years, combines major Italian music stars with a strong local identity, with a particular focus on singer-songwriters and high-quality performances.

A Unique Setting: The Basilica Square

The festival stage is set on the square of the Royal Basilica of Maria SS. del Pozzo, the spiritual and symbolic heart of Capurso. The esplanade in front of the sanctuary, a destination for pilgrimages and popular devotion, becomes a natural amphitheater where music engages with sacred architecture and the community's history. It is this combination of performance and identity-rich location that makes the Multiculturita experience distinct from a standard summer concert.

2026 Edition: The 24th

In 2026, the festival hits the milestone of its 24th edition, scheduled from July 16th to 18th. The lineup brings together three protagonists of the Italian scene: RAF, who will kick off his «Infinito – Estate 2026» tour right here in Capurso; Noemi, in one of her rare Apulian appearances; and Levante with her «Dell'Amore» tour. Three evenings ranging from auteur pop to intimate, contemporary songwriting.

Beyond Concerts: A Cultural Project

Multiculturita is more than just a series of concerts: over the years, the event has added sections dedicated to jazz, accolades like the Rino Arbore National Prize for young talent, and initiatives to promote the local area. The event is organized by the Municipality of Capurso in collaboration with the festival's historical promoters, confirming its deep roots in the city's cultural life.

Capurso and Puglia

Located just a few kilometers from Bari, Capurso is famous for its sanctuary and the devotional tradition linked to the Madonna del Pozzo. Attending the Multiculturita Summer Festival is also a chance to discover an authentic corner of Puglia, featuring historic town centers, local gastronomy, and proximity to the Adriatic Sea and the regional capital.
