The weekend that opens the bathing season in Monfalcone, between nautical sports and seaside village
There is a weekend, at the beginning of June, when Monfalcone officially kicks off the summer. It's Promomare, the event that inaugurates the bathing season by transforming the coastline into a grand stage of sport, flavors, and entertainment. The event has two main hubs: Marina Julia beach during the day, and the Porticciolo Nazario Sauro in the evening.
During the day, at Marina Julia, the sea becomes the star: open-to-the-public trials and experiences in sailing, surfing, and kiteboarding, demonstrations organized with the Italian Sailing Federation, and activities to introduce young and old to water sports. There's also a dedicated app to book sports sessions, and safety demonstrations by the Coast Guard complete a program designed to promote the sea and the right way to enjoy it.
As the sun sets, the heart of the celebration moves to the Porticciolo Nazario Sauro, which comes alive with a village of exhibitors, local product tastings, show cooking, live music, and DJ sets. The most spectacular moment arrives every evening with water shows featuring jet skis and flyboards, captivating the audience.
Promoted by the Municipality of Monfalcone, the event celebrates the city's relationship with the upper Adriatic. Marina Julia, with its beach and the "Delfino Verde" sea connection to Trieste, Sistiana, and Duino, is the ideal starting point to discover an often-underestimated coastline, offering nature, sports, and good food.
The 9th edition of Promomare animates the Monfalcone coastline from Friday, June 5th to Sunday, June 7th, 2026, coinciding with the official opening of the bathing season. The event doubles its spaces: nautical sports at Marina Julia during the day, and the food and wine village at Porticciolo Nazario Sauro in the evening.
Among the new features are a dedicated app for booking water experiences and the return of the "Delfino Verde" sea connection.
June 5th to 7th, 2026
