Vieste Estate 2025

With the motto “If you live it, you can’t help but love it”, the rich calendar of Vieste Summer 2025 kicks off—a wide-ranging program of culture, music, sports, and tradition that transforms the pearl of the Gargano into an open-air stage from June to October.

The season opens on June 1 with Vieste en Rose, a celebration of rosé wines with tastings and live music. On June 2, Disobbedite! will bring Manila Gorio and Attilio Romita to the Public Gardens stage for a talk show on rights, inclusion, and social media.

Art will play a major role with the Eventi d’Autore exhibition series. From May 24 to September 28, Steve McCurry will be featured with “Food” at the Civic Archaeological Museum. From June 14 to September 14, Jeff Koons's contemporary sculptures will be displayed in the San Felice Tower. Finally, from July 12 to August 31, the “Inside the Mind of the Master” exhibition will immerse visitors in the visionary world of Salvador Dalí at the San Francesco Library.

Among the most spectacular events, the Nastro Rosa Tour (June 5–10), the Marina Militare sailing circuit, will return to color the coast with sails. The weekend of June 20–22 will feature the Vieste Beer Festival, the Queen of the Beach beach volleyball tournament with stars like Francesca Piccinini and Andrea Zorzi, and the contemporary art event Collateral Maris.

The Olympic Triathlon Gold (June 22) and the ArcheoFilm Festival (June 23–25) will blend sports and culture.

July brings the return of Cristalda & Pizzomunno, FestambienteSud (July 18–20), and the acclaimed Il Libro Possibile Festival (July 22–26). From August 1 to 3, Vieste becomes a national music capital with the Vieste Summer Fest, featuring The Kolors, Patty Pravo, and Fabri Fibra in free concerts.

In August, the spotlight turns to the World Festival of Folklore (August 6–9), the Olive Oil Week (August 24–28), and the traditional Artisan Market.

September opens with the romantic Vieste in Love (September 8–14), followed by the exciting Parkour Week (September 15–21), and closes with the 4th V. Rondinone Memorial and the International Trumpet Days.

Autumn ends on a high note with the adrenaline of the Rally Porta del Gargano (October 10–11) and the traditional Capocanario 2025 on October 25, celebrating folklore and local identity.
