Summer at Brescia Castle between music, culture, and good food
We Love Castello is the major summer event that transforms Brescia Castle, on Cidneo Hill, into an outdoor cultural and entertainment hub. For many months, from spring to early autumn, the fortress overlooking Bresciaโthe capital of the province of the same name in Lombardyโhosts a packed program of events ranging from music to culture, from art to food and wine.
The event is divided into several distinct areas. Belvedere 030 is the food and beverage area, with two internal kitchens (snacks and burgers) and food trucks, open from the afternoon until late evening. The Fossa Viscontea hosts CAGE9, with DJ sets and live performances on weekend evenings. The San Marco Bastion is the main stage, reserved for major events, festivals, and concerts.
We Love Castello serves as a container for various events hosted throughout the summer: from Brescia Cosplay & Comics dedicated to comics and pop culture, to musical and artistic appointments that follow one another throughout the season. Every weekend the castle offers something different, making it a reference point for a diverse audience.
More than a single event, We Love Castello is a way to experience the Brescia summer: people go up to the castle to dine, listen to music, watch a show, or simply enjoy the view of the city from above. A dedicated shuttle, the "Linea Castello," connects the city center to the fortress on main evenings, making it even more convenient to reach one of Brescia's symbolic sites.
The seventh edition runs from May 16 to September 13, 2026 (food area open from May 14). Belvedere 030 hosts the catering, CAGE9 in the Fossa Viscontea offers DJ sets and live performances on weekends, while the main stage at San Marco Bastion hosts major events. Among the hosted festivals is Brescia Cosplay & Comics on May 30-31.
The complete calendar of concerts and events is updated during the season on the official website.
