Venerdì Vibranti

A festival that makes Boves vibrate in summer

In just a few years, Venerdì Vibranti has become one of the most anticipated summer events in Boves, a lively town in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont. The concept is simple and successful: on select Friday evenings from late June onwards, the historic center comes alive with live music, shows, entertainment, and great food, restoring a vibrant and festive meeting place to the local community.

Widespread performances for all ages

The festival format features a widespread program: entertainment is not concentrated in one spot but distributed across the town's squares and streets, with Piazza Italia as the beating heart of the evening. Offerings range from concerts to street performances, from play activities for the little ones to dance exhibitions, and moments of pure surprise with jugglers, trapeze artists, and magicians who enchant both adults and children.

• Live concerts with local bands, ranging from swing to pop and dance music
• Street arts and circus shows enlivening the squares
• Children's entertainment and baby dance to involve families
• Street food and culinary offerings curated by local merchants

A community project

The event was born from the commitment of the La Sporta merchants' association, in collaboration with local entities from the Cuneo area, with the support of sponsors and local businesses. The organizers' stated goal is clear: "to have a lively center again, where people meet and exchange emotions." Venerdì Vibranti represents much more than a series of concerts: it is a way to strengthen the social and commercial fabric of Boves during the hot summer evenings.

Music at the heart of the festival

Each edition features a rotation of local bands and groups: in past seasons, the Boves stages have hosted ensembles like the Swing and Soda Band led by Corrado Leone, which combines the lightness of pop songs with orchestral sounds, involving the audience in singing and dancing. Good music remains the soul of the festival, capable of transforming a simple village evening into a participatory and highly anticipated event.

Why attend

Visitors to Boves during the Venerdì Vibranti evenings will find an authentic atmosphere, far from large commercial events: a well-curated, free, and open-to-all village festival, perfect for discovering the hospitality of the Cuneo area and the most genuine side of Piedmont, amidst music, smiles, and traditional local flavors.
