Stornarella White Night

A White Night in the heart of the Tavoliere

The Stornarella White Night is the premier summer event in the Municipality of Stornarella, a small town in the province of Foggia, Puglia, set in the Tavoliere delle Puglie among the so-called Cinque Reali Siti. Originally conceived as a popular festival to accompany the patronal celebrations in honor of Maria Santissima della Stella, it has grown over the years to become a key highlight of the Stornarella summer, attracting visitors from neighboring towns in the lower Tavoliere.

Live music, from folk to rock and disco

The beating heart of the event is live music, with an artistic program designed to suit all tastes: from the sounds of traditional Puglian folk and tribute bands playing international rock classics, to DJ sets and disco rhythms that keep the squares buzzing until late at night. Corso Vittorio Emanuele III and the streets of the center turn into a sprawling stage, where concerts, light shows, and performers accompany the public through a long night of celebration.

The paths of taste

Alongside the music, ample space is dedicated to the food and wine excellence of the region with the "Le vie del gusto" (Paths of Taste) tasting trail: stands and stations offer typical products, cheeses, wines, and local specialties, created in collaboration with dairies, wineries, and agri-food companies of the Tavoliere. The evening usually kicks off with a bike ride through the town streets and an aperitif at the local bars, before diving into the food trail and the concerts.

The Children's White Night

A unique feature of the Stornarella event is the focus on families with the Children's White Night: a space tailored for the little ones with entertainment, baby dance, face painting, inflatables, flag-wavers and street performers, electric car tracks, and workshops for art, recycling, drawing, and fresh pasta making, as well as games and tournaments. An initiative that makes the event inclusive and suitable for all ages.

A free, popular event

The Stornarella White Night is free to enter and usually takes place in the height of summer, between late July and August, involving the Municipality of Stornarella, the StornarellaEventi Association, and local businesses and associations. It is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Capitanata, amidst tradition, great music, and the genuine flavors of Puglia.
