Wild Fest

The electronic music festival of the Subappennino Dauno

Wild Fest is the only festival entirely dedicated to electronic music in the Capitanata, the territory within the province of Foggia. Born in 2016 in Orsara di Puglia, a village in the Subappennino Dauno, it has grown year after year to become a highly anticipated date in the Apulian summer, bringing techno, house, and electronic beats to a unique natural setting.

From Torre Guevara to Parco San Mauro

For its first editions, the festival chose the Torre Guevara as its backdrop, built in 1680 in a valley connecting Orsara to Foggia, Troia, and Bovino: a historical and artistic crossroads transformed, thanks to video mapping, into a living canvas of light and color. In 2025, for its seventh edition, Wild Fest moved to Parco San Mauro, which became the new green-immersed "Concert Arena" for an experience that unites music and nature.

National and international artists

Over the years, Wild Fest has hosted prominent names from the international electronic scene, including John Acquaviva, Daniel Miller, Shaun Reeves, Hiroko Yamamura (the festival's first female DJ), Cristina Lazic, and Nima Gorji, supported by resident DJs and local talent. With the 2025 edition, titled "Back the origins," the festival chose to return to its roots, exclusively showcasing artists from the province of Foggia.

An experience of music, light, and flavor

Wild Fest is more than just a night of DJ sets: it is an immersive journey featuring video mapping, professional audio-lighting equipment, and light installations that interact with the architecture and the landscape. Accompanying the music is always a food area dedicated to local products, allowing visitors to discover the flavors of the Subappennino Dauno. Admission is traditionally free.

Orsara di Puglia and the Capitanata

The festival is organized by the Orsa Maggiore Cultural and Tourist Association, which has been promoting social, cultural, and musical events in Orsara di Puglia for years. Located among the Monti Dauni in the province of Foggia, Orsara di Puglia is a village known for its traditions: Wild Fest enhances its landscape heritage by offering the Capitanata its only major electronic music event.
