Sea Festival – Octopus Festival

The 50th edition of the Sea Festival of Mola di Bari, held from July 25 to 27, 2025, marked a historic milestone for one of the longest-running festivals on the Bari coast. Organized by the Municipal Administration with La Compagnia del Trullo, the event enlivened the Dalmazia seafront and the historic center with music, gastronomy, and culture.

The Palco del Mare hosted Fred De Palma (July 25), Sarafine, winner of X Factor 2023 (July 26), and Noemi with her Nostalgia Summer Tour (July 27), while the Palco del Castello hosted DJ sets and late-night live performances, including Tormento, the historic voice of Sottotono. Accompanying the evenings were octopus tastings, the fish market, art exhibitions, boat and SUP excursions, and evening meetings in the conference area dedicated to the sea and the local territory.
