Edition 2025 — Roots, Art and Flavors

The second edition of "Roots – Art and Flavors" took place in Aquara from Friday, August 1 to Sunday, August 3, 2025, expanding for the first time to three evenings. The program alternated the Fruit Joy Big Band concert, the 9th "Aquara in Dance" festival in Piazza Indipendenza, and, on Sunday, the summer carnival procession with the twinning between the Traditional Carnival of Aquara and the "Carnival of the Poor" of Olevano sul Tusciano, closed by the concert of Marco Bruno and Namarà.

The 2025 edition in Aquara

From August 1 to 3, 2025, the historic center of Aquara hosted the second edition of "Roots – Art and Flavors," organized by the Pro Loco Aquara APS. Compared to the 2024 debut, the event grew from two to three evenings, consolidating the formula that alternates dance, folk music, and summer carnival.

Friday, August 1, the food stands opened at 7:30 PM with cured meats, artisanal cheeses, extra virgin olive oil, traditional desserts, and local wines, while the village strèttule came alive with street artists and itinerant music; in the evening, the concert by the Fruit Joy Big Band. Saturday, August 2, Piazza Indipendenza hosted the 9th "Aquara in Dance" festival, curated by A.C. Tersicore. Sunday, August 3, at 7:00 PM, the procession started from Piazza Vittorio Veneto for the twinning between the Traditional Carnival of Aquara and the "Carnival of the Poor" of Olevano sul Tusciano, followed by the concert of Marco Bruno and Namarà.

"Roots – Art and Flavors was born from the desire to restore dignity and visibility to our past," explained the Pro Loco president Massimiliano Caruso when presenting the edition, built around the rediscovery of ancient crafts and Cilento peasant cuisine.
