Notte Blu Ecofestival

The fourth edition

The fourth edition of the Notte Blu Ecofestival animated the center of Gallipoli on Saturday, June 7, 2025, starting at 7:00 PM. As is tradition, Corso Roma was closed to traffic from the early hours of the morning to make room for a large-scale event blending music, environment, and community participation.

The environmental heart of the evening was the 7:30 PM conference in Piazza Tellini, dedicated to the blue economy and the relationship between the city and its marine ecosystem. Throughout the squares and the main street, there were local farmers' markets organized by the Pro Loco, sustainability and solidarity spaces, eco-workshops, circus and theater performances for children, and an urban bike ride.

The musical highlight arrived at 9:00 PM on Corso Roma with a free concert by Après La Classe, a historic Salento band known for their mix of patchanka, reggae, rock, and world music, followed by a live disco set by Rewind Settanta. The festivities were spread across Piazza Tellini, Piazza Carducci, Piazza Giovanni XXIII, and Corso Roma.
