Autumn Festival

Wondering what to do after the summer? Enjoy the events of the Autumn Festival in Catanzaro and province: music, art and unmissable shows.

Festival history

The Autumn Festival (Catanzaro) was born in 2003 from an idea of Antonietta Santacroce, the current artistic director, to enrich the cultural offer of the city of Catanzaro.

From its beginnings as a baroque festival, the Autumn Festival has been transformed over the years into a wide-ranging music festival, characterised by the coexistence of different genres (pop, rock, classical, jazz, blues, etc.), incorporating theatre, dance and cultural studies into its programme.

A historic event, involving nationally and internationally renowned personalities and artists every year, and an unmissable opportunity to visit the regional capital and its hidden beauties.
