Three days of festivity in Ardore Marina

Ardore Marina prepares to welcome La Sarabanda Ardorese, an event that from 10 to 12 August 2026 livens up the area with three days dedicated to music, performance and conviviality. For the occasion, the centre becomes a large open-air stage, with concerts, entertainment and initiatives designed to engage audiences of all ages. It is a collective experience combining energy, participation and local identity, restoring the most authentic spirit of the festival. The very name of the event evokes its spirit: a "sarabanda" meaning movement, rhythm and sharing, an explosion of sounds, colours and connections that takes shape in the squares and urban spaces, transforming everyday life into a time for gathering and celebration.

Ardore and the Ionian Locride

Ardore is in the province of Reggio Calabria, in the Locride overlooking the Ionian Sea. The town is split between the older hilltop village and the coastal district of Ardore Marina, which in summer becomes the hub of social life and outdoor events. Its position along the Reggio Ionian coast, in a stretch known for its beaches and its closeness to inland villages, makes Ardore Marina a natural setting for summer events. La Sarabanda Ardorese is thus an invitation to experience the Calabrian summer through the dimension of community, amidst traditions, music and a desire to be together.
