The Shed Beer Fest

A beer festival in the Ionian Puglia

The The Shed Beer Fest is the highly anticipated summer event dedicated to beer and live music, held in San Giorgio Ionico, a town in the Taranto area overlooking the Ionian Gulf in Puglia. Organized by The Shed Pub on Via Mulele—just a stone's throw from the Multisala Casablanca—the event transforms the street in front of the venue for three nights into a large festival village, complete with a stage, stands, and outdoor areas designed to welcome families, groups of friends, and craft beer enthusiasts.

Three nights of live music

The heart of the event is its rich musical program, which offers a different genre each night: from tribute bands dedicated to rock and pop legends to dance hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as the sounds of traditional Salento folk music and showcases featuring the most popular DJs from the radio station Ciccio Riccio, the event's historic media partner. The lineup is designed to get audiences of all ages dancing and singing in a festive atmosphere that lasts until late at night.

Over twenty beers, food, and a lounge area

True to the tradition of a genuine beer festival, The Shed Beer Fest focuses on draft beer, with over twenty varieties selected from light, dark, craft, and specialty brews. The beer is complemented by a range of street food options, while the lounge areas set up along the street offer a perfect spot to relax between concerts. Attractions and widespread entertainment complete the festival village atmosphere.

A landmark event for San Giorgio Ionico

With free admission, The Shed Beer Fest has become one of the most popular summer events in San Giorgio Ionico and the entire Taranto province, drawing crowds from neighboring towns as well. Its proven formula—good beer, food, and live concerts in a convivial, cost-free setting—makes it an unmissable stop on the Apulian July calendar.
