Sonora Festival

An electronic festival on the Adriatic sea

The Sonora Festival is the event that brings international electronic music to the coast of Margherita di Savoia, a town in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT), in Puglia. A festival designed for those who love club culture but are looking for a setting beyond the confines of indoor venues: here, the dance floor is the beach, the ceiling is the Adriatic sky, and the soundtrack ranges from house to techno, including indie and experimental electronica.

Two locations between beach and beach club

The festival unfolds over two moments and two distinct locations. The main evening comes to life at the Spiaggia Libera Belvedere, along the Lungomare Cristoforo Colombo, with the Main Stage overlooking the sea. The following day, the scene shifts to the Oasi Beach Club for a more intimate, sun-drenched daytime session where you can dance with your feet in the sand. Two complementary atmospheres: the nocturnal intensity of the main stage and the lightness of an afternoon by the shore.

Electronic music, indie, and experimentation

The Sonora Festival programming brings together Italian and international producers and DJs, with live sets and selections that showcase the latest trends in the European electronic scene. The festival focuses not only on big names but also provides space for audiovisual projects and genre-blending, building a listening journey that goes beyond a simple DJ set.

Margherita di Savoia, between salt pans and seaside tourism

Known for its salt pans—among the largest in Europe—and its fine sandy beaches, Margherita di Savoia is a seaside destination that welcomes thousands of visitors every summer. The Sonora Festival fits into this context as an event capable of attracting a young, international audience, enhancing the Apulian coastline through its musical and nocturnal dimension.

A project for regional promotion

With the patronage of the Municipality of Margherita di Savoia, the festival was also born as a tool for regional promotion, generating tourism and economic benefits for the local community. The slogan for the 2026 edition, «Coast Vibes, Coast Beat!», encapsulates the spirit of the event: uniting the Adriatic sea landscape with the contemporary sounds of the international scene.
