About Sea and Taste Festival
The Sea and Taste Festival in Campobello di Mazara
The Sea and Taste Festival is a touring event that combines live music, culture, and seafood gastronomy along the coast of southwestern Sicily, between the provinces of Trapani and Agrigento. The festival is promoted by the Fisheries Local Action Group (GAL) "Il Sole e l'Azzurro tra Selinunte, Sciacca e Vigata" under the 2021-2027 National FEAMPA Program, with the goal of celebrating the identity of coastal communities and local seafood products.
The Tre Fontane Stop
In the Municipality of Campobello di Mazara, in the Province of Trapani, the festival visits the seaside hamlet of Tre Fontane, a renowned holiday destination overlooking the sea. Events are held in Piazza Favoroso, the heart of the fishing village, in an open-air, free-admission setting that draws both locals and tourists during the height of summer.
Music and Tastings
Each stop of the festival features a concert or performance by artists from the Italian and Sicilian music scene. The evening is introduced by a small tasting of local seafood, designed to create a dialogue between music, sea flavors, and local traditions. This is the hallmark of the Sea and Taste Festival: transforming coastal villages into stages under the stars, where culinary culture becomes an integral part of the experience.
A Circuit of Ten Towns
The festival operates as a network of events distributed across ten coastal municipalities: Campobello di Mazara, Castelvetrano-Selinunte, Menfi, Sciacca, Ribera, Cattolica Eraclea, Montallegro, Siculiana, Realmonte, and Porto Empedocle. From June to early autumn, the festival accompanies the summer along the coast with concerts in symbolic locations, from the Archaeological Park of Selinunte to Roman villas and the squares of fishing villages.
Why Attend
- Free open-air evening concert just steps from the sea in Tre Fontane
- Tasting of local seafood before the show
- Summer atmosphere in the seaside hamlet of Campobello di Mazara
