Ri-suona Festival

A festival that makes Marina di Ragusa resonate

The Ri-suona Festival is a summer highlight held in Marina di Ragusa, a coastal district of the Municipality of Ragusa, in the heart of south-eastern Sicily. As the organizers explain, the event was born to "recall and rediscover the values of the land in a modern way," reinterpreting the music that defines today's generations. The name itself plays on the verb "risuonare" (to resonate) and the idea of making the spaces and identity of the Iblean coastline vibrate once again.

Cinema, art, food, and music at La Rotonda

The heart of the festival is La Rotonda in Marina di Ragusa, overlooking the sea, which comes alive for several nights in August with a multidisciplinary program. The days weave together open-air cinema under the stars, collective art exhibitions, food and wine tastings curated by local businesses, and long electronic music DJ sets. It is a formula designed for a young audience, blending the summer nightlife scene with cultural and artistic dimensions.

The common thread of electronic music

The main evening is dedicated to music: in recent editions, artists specializing in electro, acid, house, breakbeat, and selections ranging from nineties vibes to Italo-disco have taken to the console. Alongside the music, there is space for art exhibitions and food & drink moments, with tastings offered by local venues and collectives, in a dialogue between sound, taste, and images.

A free event just a stone's throw from the sea

The Ri-suona Festival offers free admission and is part of the lively summer season in Marina di Ragusa, one of the most popular seaside resorts in the province of Ragusa. The setting of the promenade and the Rotonda, combined with the climate of the August evenings, makes the event an opportunity to experience the Iblean coast in a different way, amidst music and social interaction. The festival contributes to enhancing the identity of the coastline and its vocation for bringing together youth culture and Sicilian tradition.
