In Capurso music, dance, art, sport and theatre: here is the 2025 summer programme

Live music, theater festivals, contemporary dance shows, art, sports, literary meetings and good food: with 254 initiatives from June to September, thanks to the involvement of 2 councils and 30 local associations, the summer of 2025 of the Municipality of Capurso is lived outdoors, between culture and entertainment.

Worth noting: the month of July starts with a double event on July 4 and 5 with the tribute to Lucio Battisti by I Nastri Rosa and to Vasco Rossi by I Komandanti. Wednesday, July 16, at 8:30 p.m., the churchyard of the Basilica della Madonna del Pozzo becomes a theater of laughter with “Una sera con Ale & Franz” for the fifth edition of La Puglia che Ride curated by Capurso Web Tv and the association Promolab716. From the bench to surreal dialogues, the show promises live interactions and new moments in perfect Ale & Franz style. Tickets available on Ciaotickets and at 101 Caffè (via Madonna del Pozzo, 172).
