Venue
Riviera
of Tramonti
Three days of music with feet in the sand, on the Lungomare Falcone e Borsellino in Lamezia Terme. The stage is the sea.
A beach
which becomes
a festival.
The Colour Fest takes place on the Falcone and Borsellino promenade, the Marinella beach of Lamezia Terme overlooking the Tyrrhenianis the Riviera of Sunsets, for the past two editions the new home of the festival.
In front, the open sea. Behind, the Sila chain and the hills. In between, the waterfront where we set up the stages, food areas and exhibition corners, with the light-coloured sand one step away. No spectacular fences, no urban skyline: just horizon.
It is the solitary beach of which Battiato sings: a stretch of Calabria Tyrrhenian authentic and bright, where the sea remains the protagonist and the horizon is uninterrupted.
A postcard three days long.
The stage is the sea. Everything else is frame.
- Colour Fest 14Lo Stromboli,
natural frame
of concerts.
When the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, from the Tramonti Stage - CUPRA Stage the volcano of Aeolian stands out on the horizon. It is the backdrop that Calabria gives the festival every year at sunset.
Recommended time - 19:30 - Day 1-2-3A beach,
four different lights.
Color Fest is not just an evening billboard. It starts in the morning, lives on in the afternoon under the parasol, explodes at sunset and closes at dawn.
