About Termoli Summer

Termoli Summer is the official summer events calendar of the Municipality of Termoli, on the Adriatic coast of Molise: over 100 events including concerts at the Arena del Mare, festivals, food fairs, theatre, open-air cinema, sports, exhibitions, street artists, and events for children. From spring to autumn, the Old Town, the seafront, and the city squares become a widespread stage that enlivens the most well-known fishing town in Molise.

Termoli's Summer Events Calendar

Termoli Summer is the major series of events that the Municipality of Termoli (province of Campobasso) organizes every year to liven up the warm season in Molise's main seaside resort. Now in its 68th edition in 2026, it is one of the longest-running and richest summer calendars on the central-southern Adriatic coast.

A Program Spread Across the City

The calendar includes over one hundred events distributed between spring and autumn, covering all genres: concerts by major Italian music artists at the Arena del Mare, film and music festivals, food fairs, theatre performances, and open-air cinema, exhibitions, sports events, entertainment for children and families, and street artists. The traditional celebrations of San Basso, the patron saint of fishermen, and the Fish Festival are among the most cherished moments by the community.

The Festival Venues

The heart of the musical events is the Arena del Mare, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, where the headliners of the calendar perform. Cultural and popular events, on the other hand, take place in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, in the charming Old Town perched on the promontory, at the Teatro Verde, and along the north and south seafronts (Rio Vivo).

A Celebration for the City

Termoli Summer is much more than just a series of events: it's how Termoli tells its story to the tourists who flock to its beaches and to the people of Molise who choose the coast for their holidays. Combining faith, maritime tradition, music, and gastronomy, the calendar reflects the identity of a city that lives by the sea and by hospitality.

The 68th edition of Termoli Summer runs from May 24 to October 1, 2026, with over 100 events and a municipal budget of €150,000. The Arena del Mare is the main venue for major concerts, alongside festivals, food fairs, sports, and activities for all ages.
