Starting at 7:00 PM, the Città di Ischia Musical Band will parade through the historic centre of Ischia Ponte, with several stops along the route up to Piazzale Aragonese and back, performing symphonic marches.
At 7:30 PM, the pre-festival programme begins with a presentation by Anna Castagna, who will introduce the audience to artist Romolo Bianco. He will perform a voice and guitar show, taking the audience on a journey through the melodies of classic Neapolitan songs while accompanying the anticipation of the most magical night of the Ischian summer.
At around 9:00 PM, the bay will be transformed by the colours of the celebration, hosted by Mariagrazia Nicotra, Claudio Iacono, and Beppi Banfi, who will launch the evening’s magic with the parade of the four allegorical boats.
Among this year’s new highlights, one in particular carries the scent of myth and rises from the sea:
“Sirenes – Mermaid Experience”, a legend brought to life, created and imagined by Alessandro D’Auria in the beating heart of Cartaromana Bay.
Here, the water becomes a stage—fluid, luminous, and boundless. The sea itself will welcome a performance designed to enchant, move, and remain forever in the memories of those who experience the evening.
Following the parade of the allegorical boats, the award ceremony and the announcement of the winning association will take place. The night will culminate with the highly anticipated illumination of Aragonese Castle, followed by a spectacular pyromusical fireworks show that will transform the bay into a scene of wonder and enchantment.
