Play Park
Five evenings of celebration at Parco Primo Maggio in Chiaravalle
About Play Park
The Play Park of Chiaravalle
Play Park is the event that kicks off summer at Parco Primo Maggio in Chiaravalle, in the province of Ancona, in the Marche region. Organized by Pro Loco Chiaravallese with the patronage of the Municipality of Chiaravalle, the event transforms the main city park into a large space for outdoor celebration, games, and socialising for five evenings.
The meaning of the name
The name Play Park plays on the many meanings of the English word play: playing with music, playing games, performing in shows, and testing yourself with sports. It is a festival designed to bring the community together and offer families, young people, and children a program that caters to all ages.
What to expect
The Play Park evenings combine fun and conviviality with a rich and varied offering:
- Food stalls with specialties to enjoy together;
- Themed markets for evening shopping;
- Entertainment and play areas for adults and children;
- The art of tattoo artists with the best artists in the sector;
- Live concerts and DJ sets that liven up the evenings until late.
Music and guests
The music program is one of the festival's strong points. The 2026 edition brought the Chiaravalle-based DJ and producer Samuele Sartini to Chiaravalle for the closing evening, accompanied by the official tour of Papete Beach, marking its first stop in the province of Ancona. An event that combined local identity with the appeal of a music format known throughout Italy.
A celebration for the community
With Play Park, Pro Loco Chiaravallese renews the tradition of Marche village festivals, bringing an anticipated event back to Parco Primo Maggio that enhances the green spaces of the Municipality of Chiaravalle and strengthens the sense of community. Admission is free and open to all, in line with the popular and inclusive spirit of the event.
