PartyRocc

A party that opens Camerino's summer

When the warm season arrives, the place to be in Camerino is the Rocca Borgesca. PartyRocc is the summer party series organized by the Municipality of Camerino together with the local Pro Loco in the gardens of the 16th-century fortress that dominates the historic center. Born in 2024, the event has established itself in just a few editions as the moment that officially inaugurates the rich summer calendar of the university city, in the heart of the Marche hinterland, in the Province of Macerata.

Music, DJ sets, and fun for all ages

The formula for PartyRocc is simple and successful: free admission, live music, DJ sets, entertainment, and lots of fun from late afternoon until the early hours. The evenings feature a mix of bands, tribute shows, and performers capable of attracting a vast audience, made up of children, teenagers, and adults. The very first edition, in 2024, brought the Zoo di 105, the historic radio show, to the gardens of the Rocca, attracting hundreds of people and giving the city an evening of great appeal.

The Giardini della Rocca Borgesca

The charm of PartyRocc also stems from its location. The Rocca Borgesca is the fortress commissioned by Pope Borgia at the end of the 15th century to control the city of Camerino, formerly the capital of the Da Varano lordship. Its vast panoramic gardens, overlooking the hilly landscape of the Monti Sibillini, are transformed for the occasion into a large open-air space dedicated to celebration, where history meets contemporary music.

An event for the city's rebirth

PartyRocc represents much more than just a dance night. For Camerino, a city deeply marked by the 2016 earthquake, events like this are a sign of vitality and a new beginning: a community that returns to fill its spaces, increasingly vibrant and youth-oriented, as administrators have repeatedly emphasized. The 2025 edition recorded over 6,000 total attendees over three evenings, confirming the event's growing success.

Camerino, city of art and culture

Attending PartyRocc is also an opportunity to discover Camerino, an elegant ducal city in the Marche hinterland, home to one of the oldest universities in Italy. Among Renaissance palaces, churches, and alleys of the historic center, the Borgesca fortress offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of the valley, even more evocative on warm summer evenings enlivened by the party.
