XXIII Autumn Festival: A Crossroads of Arts between Catanzaro and its Territory

The 23rd Edition of the Autumn Festival

From September 4th to November 14th, the Calabrian cultural landscape comes alive with the 23rd edition of the Autumn Festival. This year's festival, themed Music, Visions and Wonder, offers a multidisciplinary lineup that ranges from singer-songwriter music to dance, as well as theatrical experiments and visual arts. The event confirms itself as a major highlight of the regional cultural offer, capable of attracting a diverse audience through its curated programming.

A Prestigious Artistic Offer

The festival stage welcomes performers of international and national stature. The lineup includes names of the caliber of Dee Dee Bridgewater, a global jazz icon, Vinicio Capossela, a singer-songwriter with an unmistakable stylistic signature, as well as high-profile figures such as Massimo Ranieri and Malika Ayane. In addition to concerts, the program integrates original productions and immersive performances, designed to stimulate dialogue between different artistic genres and encourage direct audience engagement.

The Value of the Territory

The events are hosted in places of profound historical and architectural value, including Catanzaro, Squillace, and Borgia. These sites, chosen not only for their stage functionality but also for their landscape and cultural significance, offer a striking setting that enhances the emotional impact of the performances. The choice to decentralize the events promotes the local monumental heritage, transforming every evening into an opportunity to discover the territory.

Special Projects and Younger Generations

Particular attention is paid to the younger generations, with dedicated appointments and formats designed to bring audiences under 30 closer to the world of live performance. The Autumn Festival is therefore configured not only as a container of events but as a space for education and exchange. The variety of languages offered intends to intercept different sensibilities, promoting an inclusive and dynamic cultural experience.

Logistical Information

The festival unfolds over a period of more than two months, offering programming distributed across the municipalities of Catanzaro, Borgia, and Squillace. To consult the complete calendar of performances, program changes, and ticket purchase methods, please refer to the official communication channels of the organizing body. Advance booking is recommended for performances hosted in venues with limited capacity.
