Nostalgia 90 in the Stockfish Festival

The music of the 1990s comes to Cittanova with Nostalgia 90, one of the most anticipated events of the 25th National Stockfish Festival. The evening of 10 August 2026 opens with a concert by Fabrizio Moro and continues in Piazza San Rocco with a show dedicated to the hits that shaped an entire generation, in an atmosphere not to be missed. The event is part of the festival that for twenty-five years has celebrated stockfish as a symbol of Cittanova's culinary tradition, pairing the food fair with a rich calendar of events blending culture, entertainment and conviviality. It is a way to stretch the celebration late into the night, with dance rhythms, chart-toppers and the urge to dance together under the summer sky.

Cittanova and the stockfish tradition

Cittanova sits in the Piana di Gioia Tauro, in the province of Reggio Calabria, halfway between the slopes of the Aspromonte and the Costa Viola. It is here that the National Stockfish Festival returns each summer, now in its twenty-fifth edition: an event celebrating stockfish prepared to local recipes, a dish fully woven into the town's culinary culture. Around the fair revolves a programme rich in concerts, shows and open-air moments that enliven the historic centre. Visitors to Cittanova can discover the flavours of the area by browsing places to eat in Cittanova and the local businesses of the town, rounding off the evening with a stop at the table among the specialities of the Piana.

How to enjoy the evening

Nostalgia 90 takes place in Piazza San Rocco, in the heart of Cittanova, on the evening of 10 August 2026. As it falls on the same night as the Fabrizio Moro concert and sits at the heart of the Stockfish Festival, a large turnout in the centre is to be expected: it is best to reach the town early and consider parking in the surrounding streets. Cittanova's position, between the Reggio hinterland and the coast, makes the evening an ideal chance to combine live music, Aspromonte villages and the sea of the Costa Viola in a single summer outing.
