Arts and shows in the heart of Conversano's historic centre
Summer Village 2025
Emotions under the sun and under the stars
From 21 June to 30 September 2025, Conversano comes alive with ‘Borgo d’Estate’, the summer festival that transforms the old town into a vast open-air stage for culture, music, art and traditions.
A journey spanning the whole summer, featuring events designed for all ages and tastes, to be enjoyed in the open air, in the heart of Puglia.
A summer full of beauty and sharing
Borgo d’Estate is much more than just a calendar of events: it is an invitation to experience Conversano in its most authentic form.
The evenings come alive with sounds, words, encounters, laughter and colours. Every corner of the historic centre becomes part of the story: Piazza Castello, Villa Garibaldi, the Cloister of San Benedetto, the courtyards, terraces and alleyways all host performances, installations, shows and moments of collective participation.
The connection with the local area is expressed through live music, theatre, the visual arts, folk traditions, creative workshops and the promotion of local flavours.
A summer characterised by the blending of artistic forms and generations, which embraces the village in its entirety, transforming it into a vibrant, open and accessible space.
What makes Borgo d’Estate unique compared to other festivals
Whilst many summer events focus on fast-paced, commercial formats, Borgo d’Estate opts for a focus on cultural richness and human connection.
There is no large stage, but dozens of small venues transformed into unique experiences.
There is no single artistic direction, but rather a blend of different artistic languages that influence one another with balance and freedom.
