About Primo Maggio al Tirassegno

Every May 1st, the green area of the former Tirassegno, a stone's throw from the village of Civitanova Alta, transforms into a large open-air celebration space. The Società Operaia G. Garibaldi organizes a day that combines live music, wellness activities, children's games, and food stalls on the lawn. A popular, free community festival celebrating Labour Day with the typical convivial spirit of the Marche region.

A Community Festival in the Heart of Civitanova Alta

Primo Maggio al Tirassegno is the event with which Civitanova Alta, the historic village perched on the hills behind the coast, celebrates Labour Day. The event takes place in the large green area of the former Tirassegno, along the street of the same name, a short walk from the walls and the historic center of the Municipality of Civitanova Marche, in the province of Macerata, in the Marche region.

The day is organized by the Società Operaia G. Garibaldi Civitanova Alta APS, a historic association of the village, with the patronage of the City of Civitanova Marche. Also known as "1° Maggio a Musica Alta", the festival is designed as a day to be spent entirely on the lawn, from morning to evening, suitable for all ages.

Wellness, Sport, and Activities in the Morning

The day begins early with a gathering for the metabolic walk organized by Walk Active, followed by the special "Strafit" workout, a fitness circuit of about 24 minutes. The morning is mainly dedicated to families: traditional outdoor games, animated readings for children with "Favole in Libertà", advice on dog training and education with the Qua La Zampa Canine Center, as well as demonstrations by Croce Verde and an information booth by Emergency.

Live Music in the Afternoon

The afternoon is the highlight, entirely dedicated to live music. Bands will perform on stage, drawing from the great repertoire of Italian songs, with tribute concerts to beloved singer-songwriters and local bands animating the lawn until the evening. The music, the stalls, and the relaxed atmosphere make the Tirassegno the ideal place for a picnic with friends.

What to Eat

Food stalls will be available throughout the day, offering the flavors of the Marche tradition: porchetta, sandwiches, fritters, wine, and beer. Those who wish to enjoy the lawn without worries can book a special picnic basket. Admission to the festival is free.

Why It's Worth It

  • An authentic popular festival, far from commercial logic, organized by a local association.
  • A program that combines wellness, sports, activities for children, and live music in a single day.
  • The evocative setting of Civitanova Alta, within the walls of the historic Macerata village.
  • The opportunity to discover the cultural initiatives that animate the village during the same period.

Primo Maggio al Tirassegno — edition 2026

The 2026 edition of Primo Maggio al Tirassegno enlivened the green area of Civitanova Alta with a full day outdoors: from the morning metabolic walk to the afternoon live music, including activities for children, sports, and food stalls. Organized by the Società Operaia G. Garibaldi with the patronage of the City of Civitanova Marche.

On May 1st, 2026, Primo Maggio al Tirassegno returned to fill the green area of Civitanova Alta, along Via del Tirassegno. The day, organized by the Società Operaia G. Garibaldi Civitanova Alta APS, was once again a public success, with many age groups gathered on the lawn amidst music, sports, and good food.
