Roseto degli Abruzzi in Abruzzo, is preparing to host the 2026 edition of Transumare Fest, a festival of electronic, pop and rock music on the Abruzzo coast.
Music but also side events
The three-day event, one of the most eagerly-awaited for the summer season will take place from 20 to 22 August in a location, on Roseto degli Abruzzi’s Lungomare Trento seaside promenade. The inclusive and sustainable project includes a programme of side events that will be published a few weeks before the festival. The programme will also feature the well-known musical group I Cani, who will perform at the Fonte dell'Olmo Stadium om 1 August.
A journey beyond a summer festival
Transumare nello Spazio is an extension of Transumare Fest, a format designed to bring music on a cultural journey that goes beyond the temporal boundaries of the summer festival, crossing seasons, places and communities.
Transhumance was linked to flocks of cattle
Transhumance was the practice of moving flocks in autumn from the cool mountain pastures of Abruzzo to the warmer ones of the Tavoliere delle Puglie, while in summer the journey was reversed, and they returned to the mountains of Abruzzo. In the concept of the Abruzzo festival, therefore, Transumare comes from the fusion of the word Mare, meaning sea and symbol of the town of Roseto degli Abruzzi, with the Latin prefix Trans which expresses the idea of going beyond.
A Blue flag and a Green Flag
Roseto degli Abruzzi is on the Adriatic coast, in the province of Teramo. In addition to the Blue Flag, awarded for the quality and cleanliness of its waters, it also holds a Green Flag for the best child-friendly beaches.
