About Sunny People Fest

The Sunny People Festival is the event that kicks off the summer in Roseto degli Abruzzi, on the Teramo coast. Three days of indie, alternative, and rock music, featuring live concerts, late-night DJ sets, art installations, creative workshops, an independent makers' market, and sea-view food areas. Held on the public beach of Lido Ah!Mar, the event is completely free and turns the coastline into a creative village open to everyone.

Sunny People Festival: Summer begins in Roseto degli Abruzzi

The Sunny People Festival was created to welcome the summer season on the Adriatic coast of Teramo, bringing live music and contemporary culture directly to the sands of Roseto degli Abruzzi, in the province of Teramo, Abruzzo. The event takes place on the public beach of Lido Ah!Mar, along the Lungomare Trieste, transforming the shore into an open space dedicated to music, creativity, and social connection.

A festival spread across four areas

The experience is divided into several thematic areas that coexist throughout the day:

  • Music Area: The heart of the festival, featuring live concerts ranging from indie and alternative to rock, followed by evening DJ sets that keep the beach alive until late at night.
  • Art Area: Exhibitions, installations, and creative projects that turn every corner of the coastline into a stage for contemporary expression.
  • Market Area: A space for artisans, illustrators, and young creatives, showcasing handmade goods, clothing, accessories, and unique crafts.
  • Food & Beverage Area: Gastronomic offerings with a sea view, featuring local flavors, Abruzzese specialties, and drinks.

Independent music and new talent

The Sunny People Festival has built its identity around Italian independent music, alternating between established artists and emerging projects. The program highlights new talent and bridges the gap between the local Abruzzese scene and national acts, all within the informal and participatory atmosphere that has become the festival's hallmark.

Workshops, sustainability, and community

Alongside the concerts, the program offers creative workshops, activities for children, art sessions, and entertainment. Special attention is paid to sustainability and respect for the marine environment, with initiatives designed to help visitors enjoy the beach responsibly. Organized by the Ah!mar Eventi association in collaboration with the Municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi, the festival remains free, independent, and accessible, making it one of the most anticipated events at the start of the Abruzzo summer.

Sunny People Fest — edition 2026

The third edition of the Sunny People Festival took place from May 22 to 24, 2026, on the public beach of Lido Ah!Mar in Roseto degli Abruzzi, attracting over 7,000 attendees. Described by organizers as the "year of consecration," it confirmed the event as a key fixture for the start of summer in Abruzzo, with free admission.

Sunny People Festival 2026: The year of consecration

The third edition of the Sunny People Festival was held from May 22 to 24, 2026, on the public beach of Lido Ah!Mar in Roseto degli Abruzzi, drawing over 7,000 visitors over the three days, with audiences coming from the provinces of Teramo, Pescara, Chieti, and L'Aquila, as well as from the Marche region.

The most anticipated moment was the Stazioni Lunari project, directed by Francesco Magnelli and Ginevra Di Marco, featuring Motta, Setak (fresh winner of the Targa Tenco), Giorgio Canali, and Lamante: the sunset concert was one of the most moving moments of the event. Also on stage were Nico Arezzo, Il Mago del Gelato, Funky Lemonade, and CousCous a Colazione, while the evenings concluded with DJ sets, including one by Mundial.

The 2026 edition was preceded by a preview on April 18 at the Villa Comunale in Roseto and was accompanied as always by an art area, an independent makers' market, workshops, and a sea-view food area. Organized by Ah!mar Eventi with the Municipality of Roseto degli Abruzzi, it maintained its free admission policy.
