Music, dance, and culture on the Pozzallo seafront
About Notti e Note di Mare
A festival between the sea and the notes
Notti e Note di Mare is the event that heralds spring in Pozzallo, a lively seaside hub in the province of Ragusa, on the south-eastern coast of Sicily. Organized by the Municipality of Pozzallo, the event brings music and entertainment to the historic center's squares facing the Mediterranean—specifically Piazza delle Rimembranze and Piazza Municipio—which are transformed into open-air stages for the occasion.
Music, dance, and tradition
The program weaves together diverse genres and styles: live concerts by Italian artists, sets by established DJs and producers, dance performances, local bands, and entertainment for families. The common thread is the profound relationship between Pozzallo and its sea, told through music, lights along the coast, and community participation.
More than just concerts
- Dance shows and performances in the town center squares
- Entertainment and workshops for children
- A spotlight on local authors and books, in collaboration with local associations
- Food stalls and a festive atmosphere along the town streets
