Music Day in Brescia
Brescia becomes an open-air stage for a day
About Music Day Brescia
A City in Music
For a whole day, Brescia becomes an open-air stage thanks to the Festa della Musica, the event that brings music to every corner of the city. Organized by the Festa della Musica Brescia Association, founded in 2014 on the model of the famous European music festival, the event takes place in the historic center and adjacent neighborhoods of the Lombard capital.
Thousands of Artists, Dozens of Stages
The scale of the event is impressive: over 3,000 artists and bands perform on more than 80 stages located throughout the city. Each musician has half an hour for their performance, in a continuous flow that fills streets and squares with live music, in the most evocative locations of Brescia.
All Genres, For Everyone
The Festa della Musica knows no genre boundaries: pop and soul, rock and jazz, funky and dance, electronic, folk, and band music coexist in the same day and the same urban space. It is a deeply democratic celebration: participation is free for artists and listening is free for the public, in full accordance with the original spirit of the event.
Participation and Community
More than a lineup, the Festa della Musica is a great collective ritual that involves professional and amateur musicians, emerging bands, and music schools. Accompanied by musical workshops for children and initiatives in libraries, the event contributes to making Brescia a city that lives music as a common good and as an opportunity for encounter between generations and neighborhoods.
