Sun Fest Music (Music Festival)

A day of music in the Turin hills

Sun Fest Music is the music festival of San Raffaele Cimena, a small town in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, overlooking the hills that dominate the Po Valley. Organized by the Pro Loco San Raffaele Cimena together with the Spazio Libero music association and the Altrove youth group, the event is part of the European Music Day calendar, the great celebration held on June 21st that involves thousands of cities across Europe every year.

Where it takes place

The festival brings two iconic town locations to life: the characteristic Via degli Orti, where the day kicks off with live performances and a roving aperitif among the various musical stations, and the splendid Panoramic Terrace on Via San Rocco, in the upper part of San Raffaele, offering views over the hills and the Canavese landscape. It is here that, as the sun goes down, the festival transforms with sunset DJ sets and concerts on the main stage.

The day's program

Sun Fest Music is structured as a journey that accompanies the audience from the afternoon until late at night:

• Afternoon: live performances and a roving aperitif along Via degli Orti, featuring musical stations and local talent.
• Sunset: DJ sets and dinner on the Panoramic Terrace, with dishes prepared by Pro Loco volunteers.
• Evening and night: concerts on the main stage and a high-energy closing party with DJ sets.

Young music and local artists

The heart of Sun Fest Music is the promotion of emerging bands and local musical realities. The event was born from the collaboration between local associations with the goal of giving space to young musicians and involving the public from neighboring communities, creating an opportunity to gather around live music.

An event for the whole community

Free and open to all ages, Sun Fest Music combines music, good food, and conviviality in a unique panoramic setting. The gastronomic offerings, curated by volunteers, accompany the audience throughout the festival, while a free shuttle service connects the parking areas to the event center. A festival that tells the story of the spirit of San Raffaele Cimena and its desire to put music and the new generations at the center.
