We ARE Festival

A new festival for Arenzano

The summer of 2026 marks the debut of the We ARE Festival, a new event series hosted in the town of Arenzano (Province of Genoa), on the Riviera di Ponente. The festival takes place in the evocative setting of Villa Figoli des Geneys, whose park hosts an extensive program of concerts, theatre, and comedy from late July to late August. The name itself plays on that of Arenzano: "ARE" refers to the beginning of the city's name and the verb "to be", evoking the idea of belonging and community.

Music, theatre, and laughter

The program blends different genres: singer-songwriter music with Niccolò Fabi opening the event, Cristiano De André's tribute to his father's work, but also comedy and narrative theatre. It is a lineup designed for a broad audience, combining the quality of big names with the variety of offerings, in open-air evenings amidst the greenery of the villa.

Arenzano and its cultural summer

Promoted by the Municipality of Arenzano and organized by OPS Eventi – the same entity that produces the Altraonda event series at the Porto Antico in Genoa – the We ARE Festival was created to enrich the town's summer cultural offerings. Overlooking the sea and framed by the greenery of the Beigua Park, Arenzano thus confirms its vocation for combining seaside tourism and major live events, in the heart of the Genoese Riviera di Ponente.
