Venue
Riviera
of Tramonti
Three days of music with your feet in the sand, on the Falcone and Borsellino Promenade 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 Tyrrhenian: it is 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 It is a frame.
— Colour Fest 14Lo Stromboli,

of concerts.
When the sun sets over the Tyrrhenian Sea, from the Tramonti Stage - CUPRA Stage the volcano of Aeolian It stands out against the horizon. It is the backdrop that Calabria provides for the festival every year at sunset.
Recommended start time · 7.30 pm · Days 1–2–3A beach,

Color Fest isn’t just an evening programme. It starts in the morning, continues in the afternoon under the beach umbrella, comes alive at sunset and ends at dawn.
