From 17 to 27 September 2025, Rende is preparing to host the 60th edition of Settembre Rendese, Calabria's longest-running festival and a cultural landmark for the entire region. For sixty years, this event has marked the end of summer with a programme packed with concerts, shows, meetings and events promoting the local area, transforming the city into a vast stage that encompasses the districts, the old town and the city centre.
The festival, directed by Alfredo De Luca, celebrates a special milestone this year with an ambitious and diverse programme, capable of uniting different genres and languages. Live music will be the main attraction:
- 17 September, in Via Rossini, the inaugural concert with Noemi and her Nostalgia Summer Tour;
- 19 September, in Piazza degli Eroi, a live performance by Pablo Reyes, the historic voice and guitar of the Gipsy Kings, with the European Tour 2025 - 38 años Bamboleo!;
- 27 September, in Piazza Kennedy, the grand finale with Coma Cose, one of the most innovative acts in contemporary Italian music.
Alongside music, Settembre Rendese 2025 offers exhibitions, book presentations, theatre and cultural events, enriching the entertainment and reflection on offer. New this year is the focus on opera, with the Galà Lirico scheduled for Thursday 25 September in Piazza Matteotti: the protagonist will be the Brutia Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Francesco Perri, ready to offer an evening of great charm.
