This year again, Salento is ready to ignite with the vibrant energy of the Night of the Taranta, the largest folk music festival in Italy.
An event that merges tradition and innovation, touching numerous towns in the Grecìa Salentina and culminating in the famous Final Concert in Melpignano.
The Itinerant Festival
The festival kicks off on August 3, 2025, in Corigliano d’Otranto with the “Taranta Parade,” a lively showcase of musicians and dancers through the town’s historic center.
Over 50 events will follow across 19 communities, including Calimera, Sogliano, Cursi, Zollino, Nardò, Ugento, Sant’Andrea (Marina di Melendugno), Sternatia, Carpignano Salentino, Galatone, Lecce, Soleto, Galatina, Cutrofiano, Alessano, Castrignano, Martignano, and Martano.
Each stop will feature concerts, pizzica dance workshops, and cultural meetings, offering visitors a full immersion into the rich heritage of Salento.
The Grand Concert in Melpignano
On August 23, 2025, Melpignano will host the spectacular Final Concert, drawing over 150,000 people each year.
The night will feature national and international guest artists performing alongside the Popular Orchestra of the Night of the Taranta, for an unforgettable explosion of music and dance under the stars.
