The major free summer arena at Parco Talenti 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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
Opening night May 29: tribute to Queen with the band Galileo. Following this, among the first events: May 30 tribute to Vasco Rossi (Rock Sotto Assedio); May 31 homage to Disney soundtracks (Once Upon a Time); June 1-2 "Insieme per Rino", two evenings dedicated to Rino Gaetano with special guests; June 4 tribute to Pino Daniele with "Un Uomo in Blues". The calendar continues throughout the summer with concerts, shows, and a rich program of "Kids Shows" featuring music and magic for the little ones. Full updated program on the official website.
The Parco Talenti Arena is located at Via Corrado Alvaro / Largo Pugliese, in the Monte Sacro Alto (Talenti) district, northeast of Rome. By car, it can be reached via Via Nomentana and Via Ugo Ojetti; by public transport, numerous ATAC bus lines serve the Talenti area.
The village opens at 6:00 PM every evening from May 29 to August 26, 2026. Admission to all events is free.
Inside the village, there is a large food and beverage area with street food and open-air dining, as well as a dedicated children's play area. Comfortable clothing is recommended for the open-air evenings.
