About Primo Maggio Fest

The Primo Maggio Fest brings the Labor Day celebrations to the seafront of Tre Fontane, a seaside hamlet of Campobello di Mazara in the province of Trapani. It is a day that blends live music, traditional folk dances, and reflections on labor rights: Piazza Favoroso transforms into an open-air stage with concerts, institutional sessions with the CGIL, CISL, and UIL trade unions, and plenty of entertainment for families and the community. A unique Labor Day experience with the sea as a backdrop.

Primo Maggio Fest in Tre Fontane

The Primo Maggio Fest is the event that brings the Labor Day celebrations to life in the seaside hamlet of Tre Fontane, in Campobello di Mazara, province of Trapani. For the occasion, the central Piazza Favoroso on the seafront becomes a large open-air stage featuring live music, songs, and traditional dances, creating a festive atmosphere that engages both residents and visitors from the entire Mazara area.

Music, Rights, and Community

The event has a dual purpose: entertainment on one hand, and reflection on the value of work and the dignity of workers on the other. Representatives from the CGIL, CISL, and UIL trade unions take the stage to highlight the constitutional importance of this holiday, while the musical program accompanies the audience from the afternoon until late evening. The event also includes institutional moments, such as the presentation of plaques to trade union representatives and tributes dedicated to figures dear to the community.

A Festival for the Entire Territory

Organized by the Pro Loco of Mazara del Vallo with the patronage of the Municipality of Campobello di Mazara and the support of trade unions and local businesses, the event aims to be an open and popular gathering. The choice of Tre Fontane is no coincidence: the seaside village, with its square overlooking the southwestern coast of Sicily, offers a picturesque setting to spend Labor Day in good company, surrounded by music and the sea.

Why Attend

  • Free concerts and shows on the Tre Fontane seafront
  • A Labor Day that combines popular festivities with reflections on rights
  • A day suitable for families, young people, and the entire Trapani community
  • The atmosphere of a seaside village just a few kilometers from Campobello di Mazara and Mazara del Vallo

Between Selinunte and Mazara del Vallo, the Primo Maggio Fest is an excellent opportunity to discover this corner of the province of Trapani during an authentically Sicilian day of celebration.
