Note sotto le Stelle in Intra
Thursday evening music nights in the historic center of Intra, Verbania
About Note sotto le Stelle
A widespread festival in the heart of Intra
Note sotto le Stelle is one of the most beloved musical events of the Verbania summer. The festival turns the historic center of Intra—the lively commercial district of Verbania overlooking Lake Maggiore—into a vast open-air stage. For a series of Thursday evenings from late June to early August, the district's main squares simultaneously host concerts, cover bands, and DJ sets, allowing the public to stroll freely from one square to another and choose their favorite musical genre.
The format: many squares, many genres
The winning formula of the event is widespread music. At the same time, different performances come to life in various corners of Intra: from jazz swing to pop-rock, from tributes to great Italian bands (such as Negramaro, Modà, or Ligabue) to Latin music and danceable DJ sets. The venues that host these evenings every year include Piazza Ranzoni, Piazza San Rocco, Piazza Castello, the Imbarcadero area, Corso Mameli, and other spaces in the historic center. Performances generally begin around 9:00 PM and continue late into the night, accompanied by the outdoor seating of local bars and restaurants.
The 2026 edition
The 2026 edition takes place from June 25 to August 6, every Thursday evening. Among the already announced highlights is the concert by Alice Greco, scheduled for July 9, 2026. The festival is part of the rich summer program Verbania Another Season 2026, which entertains residents and tourists with music, culture, and events along the lakefront and throughout the city's districts.
A summer of celebration on Lake Maggiore
More than just a concert series, Note sotto le Stelle is a social occasion for the community of Intra and the many visitors who flock to the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola area in summer. The evenings combine a passion for music with the pleasure of experiencing the historic center in a convivial way, showcasing the district's shops and the scenic beauty of the squares overlooking the lake.
