About Street Music Festival

At the beginning of July, the streets of central Sanremo fill with music for the Sanremo Street Music Festival: a national event dedicated to emerging artists, who perform live with original tracks and reinterpretations. The audience votes via QR code, and the prize is substantial: professional production of a song and direct access to Area Sanremo. Free and open to Italians and foreigners, it's a showcase for new talents.

Music hits the streets

The Sanremo Street Music Festival is the event that brings emerging music to the streets of central Sanremo (province of Imperia). For two days, the city's streets and squares become widespread stages for artists and bands, in a national event open to Italians and foreigners.

Original tracks and audience vote

Artists perform original music and reinterpretations, and the audience plays a leading role: voting is done via QR code, making the experience participatory. The final takes place in Piazza Borea d'Olmo, the pulsating heart of the city.

A career-making prize

The prize for the winner is substantial: professional production of a song and direct access to Area Sanremo, the historic selection process linked to the Festival. Free and open to all artists aged 16 and over, the festival confirms itself as an important showcase for those taking their first steps in the music world, in the city that is a symbol of Italian song.
