About Tourist Festival of Airole

At the end of July, Airole welcomes those who choose the Roia Valley for their holidays with its Tourist Festival: an evening of food and dancing held in the garden in front of the village's festival hall. Food stalls, music, and dancing transform a summer evening into a moment of conviviality between residents and holidaymakers, in one of the quietest villages in the hinterland of Ventimiglia, far from the crowds of the Riviera di Ponente seaside resorts.

The festival celebrating Airole's hospitality

In the height of summer, the small Municipality of Airole (Province of Imperia) dedicates an evening to those who choose the tranquility of the Roia Valley for their holidays. The Tourist Festival is a mid-July event designed as a meeting point between the village community and holidaymakers, in a genuine and familiar atmosphere.

Food and dancing in the festival hall garden

The evening takes place in the garden in front of the festival hall, set up with food stalls and a dance floor. It's the classic formula for summer festivals in Ligurian villages: local cuisine, wine, live music, and plenty of ballroom dancing, in an intimate setting where everyone knows each other.

Airole and the Roia Valley

A valley village along the Ventimiglia–Cuneo railway line, Airole represents an authentic and less touristy Liguria, where its hamlets and narrow streets retain the slow pace of yesteryear. The Tourist Festival is the perfect opportunity to discover this corner of the inland Flower Riviera, just a stone's throw from the French border.

Tourist Festival of Airole — edition 2026

The 2026 edition of the Tourist Festival is held on Saturday, July 25 in Airole, starting at 6:30 PM, in the garden in front of the festival hall. The gastronomic and dancing evening is part of the village's summer calendar in the Roia Valley, confirmed by the Riviera dei Fiori press, between the St. John's Bonfire and the August events.

The 2026 Tourist Festival takes place on Saturday, July 25 from 6:30 PM in the garden in front of Airole's festival hall.
