About Sessantotto Village

Sessantotto Village is the major free summer festival bringing Parco Talenti to life in Rome's Monte Sacro district from May 29 to August 26, 2026. Every evening from 6:00 PM, the arena comes alive with tribute concerts, children's shows, magic, and a vast open-air food and beverage area. Now in its thirteenth year, the event features tributes to Queen, Vasco Rossi, Pino Daniele, and Rino Gaetano, with free admission for all and evenings designed for families.

A summer of free music and entertainment in Rome

The Sessantotto Village is one of the most beloved fixtures of the Roman summer: a large open-air arena set up every year in Parco Talenti, in the Monte Sacro Alto district of Rome (Lazio region). From May 29 to August 26, 2026, for nearly three months, the village transforms the park into a meeting point for families, young people, and music lovers, with a packed calendar of completely free events.

Tribute concerts and shows every evening

The heart of the event is the arena stage, where concerts, tribute bands, and live performances take place every evening starting at 6:00 PM. The 2026 edition pays homage to some of the greatest names in Italian and international music: the opening night on May 29 is dedicated to Queen with the tribute band Galileo, followed by tributes to Vasco Rossi (Rock Sotto Assedio) and Disney soundtracks. There is also plenty of space for singer-songwriters, with the tribute to Pino Daniele titled "Un Uomo in Blues".

"Insieme per Rino": the tribute to Rino Gaetano

Among the highlights of the edition is "Insieme per Rino", two days (June 1 and 2) dedicated to the memory of Rino Gaetano, featuring concerts, special guests, and artists connected to the singer-songwriter. It is a particularly poignant moment in the Monte Sacro district, which is historically linked to the figure of Rino Gaetano.

A village for the whole family

Sessantotto Village is not just about music: throughout the event, there is a dedicated play area for children, along with a calendar of shows for kids including magic, entertainment, and music. The family-friendly formula has made the village a hub for community and social life in the heart of the district.

  • Admission: free for all events
  • Hours: opens at 6:00 PM, shows in the evening
  • Food & Beverage area: wide selection of street food, aperitifs, and open-air dining
  • Kids area: dedicated games and shows

An event rooted in the local area

Organized by GINO S.r.l. with artistic direction by Lazio Concerti, the festival has recorded over 350,000 visitors and hundreds of events over the years, establishing itself as one of the most popular summer cultural spaces in the Capital. In 2026, the format expands with a second location at Parco Da Vinci in Fiumicino, confirming the success of a formula that combines free music, entertainment, and neighborhood life in Lazio.

Sessantotto Village — edition 2026

The thirteenth edition of Sessantotto Village brings Parco Talenti in Rome to life from May 29 to August 26, 2026. Every evening from 6:00 PM, tribute concerts, children's shows, and a large open-air food and beverage area, with completely free admission.

The 2026 edition of the Sessantotto Village confirms the free formula that has made the festival famous: nearly three months of events at Parco Talenti, every evening starting at 6:00 PM. Tribute bands and live concerts alternate on the arena stage, while the play area and children's shows bring the village to life for families.
