Cultural festivals in the Naples region

Overview

In September 2026, several cultural festivals recognized as part of the Campanian Intangible Cultural Heritage took place in the Naples region.

The Piedigrotta Viva 2026 festival, titled ‘Quann’era Piererotta’, was scheduled from September 11 to September 22. Directed by Benedetto Casillo, the event featured traditional music and storytelling across Naples, Marano di Napoli, and Torre del Greco to preserve connections between music, faith, and popular memory.

Simultaneously, the Festa dei Gigli di Barra was held in the Barra district of Naples through September 28. The celebration included music and exhibitions, culminating in the ‘Ballata dei Gigli’ procession. This event featured eight massive wooden and papier-mâché structures, standing over 25 meters tall, which were carried by groups of people.
