Notte Blu

Notte Blu 2025 — 13th edition

The thirteenth edition of Notte Blu brought Santa Cesarea Terme to life on Sunday, July 27, 2025, starting at 8:00 PM. The historic center and Via Roma transformed into an open-air stage, with grand videomapping projected onto the Mother Church and traditional Salento-style illuminations lighting up the village streets.

On the main stage, the 'Malè on tour' musical format provided DJ sets, entertainment, and spectacular choreography, while street performers, magic shows, and theater performances took place throughout the streets. The event also featured a street food area with local flavors, artisan markets, a funfair, creative workshops for children, and astronomical observation. A major highlight, as always, was the nighttime visit to the Grotta Fetida in collaboration with the Terme di Santa Cesarea. The evening, organized by Lella Bretella Events in partnership with the Municipality, confirmed Notte Blu as one of the most anticipated events of the Salento summer.
