Craft beer, street food, and live music festival in Piazza del Popolo
This edition has not been confirmed by the organiser to date. We recommend checking before going.
Tutti Malti per Colonnella is the summer event dedicated to craft beer, street food, and live music, hosted in Piazza del Popolo. This scenic square overlooks the rolling hills of the village of Colonnella, located in the northernmost part of Abruzzo, just a stone's throw from the border with the Marche region. Supported by the Municipality of Colonnella, the festival has become a mid-August staple, drawing visitors from across the Val Vibrata and the nearby Adriatic coast.
For five consecutive evenings, the square comes alive with stalls and taps serving craft beers from local and national breweries, complemented by a wide selection of street food. The atmosphere is that of a traditional summer village fair: open-air tables, families, young people, and enthusiasts gathering to sample different beer styles and casual bites in an informal, welcoming setting.
Each evening features a free live concert, with a lineup ranging from pop-rock tribute bands and indie acts to soul, jazz, and dance revival nights. The music turns Piazza del Popolo into an open-air stage, keeping the festivities going late into the night.
Originally launched as a craft beer festival, the event has grown over the years to become a key summer highlight for the region, showcasing the historic center of Colonnella and its panoramic square. With free entry and a convivial atmosphere, it is an event for everyone, from craft beer connoisseurs to families looking for a pleasant evening outdoors.
Perched on a hill overlooking the Tronto Valley and the Adriatic coast, the Municipality of Colonnella is one of the most charming villages in the Teramo area. Its location, the atmosphere of its historic center, and the views over the Abruzzo hills provide a stunning backdrop for this summer festival.
At this time, the organizers have not yet published the official dates or the program for the 2026 edition of Tutti Malti per Colonnella. Based on previous years, the event is expected to return in mid-August to Piazza del Popolo, following the usual format of craft beers, street food, and free live concerts. For updated information, we recommend following the official channels of the Municipality of Colonnella.
