...Sognando le Stelle...

...Sognando le Stelle, great music under the stars of Arce

Every summer, the historic center of Arce, in the heart of the province of Frosinone, lights up with ...Sognando le Stelle, the free music festival that has established itself as one of the most popular in Central Italy. The setting is the evocative Piazza Sant'Eleuterio, which for a few evenings in August turns into a true open-air stage, capable of drawing thousands of spectators from all over Lazio and neighboring regions.

A festival that has grown year after year

Born as a village celebration, the event has become a fixed appointment of the Ciociaria summer over the years, having surpassed 150,000 total spectators throughout its editions. The secret of its success is a formula that combines the history of Italian music, pop music capable of speaking to multiple generations, and nationally acclaimed dance and radio productions, always with free admission.

The 2026 edition

The fourteenth edition takes place from August 6 to 9, 2026, with four evenings starting at 9:00 PM in Piazza Sant'Eleuterio. The lineup alternates radio entertainment, nineties dance music, great voices of Italian song, and singer-songwriter rock, confirming the festival's transversal appeal.

A local project

The festival is organized by the Associazione Culturale Sant'Agostino ETS, led by president Patrizio Esposito, in close synergy with the Municipality of Arce, the Lazio Region, the Province of Frosinone, and the "Valle del Liri" Mountain Community, with the support of BPC per la Cultura. A collective effort that has brought top names of Italian entertainment to a small town in the Ciociaria region.
