Festival Ethnos
International Ethnic Music Festival
The Ethnos International Festival of Ethnic Music was established in 1995 with the objective of reviving the traditional customs of the Vesuvian region. Since its inception, the festival has expanded its scope, becoming one of the major observatories of ethnic music and one of the most important and eagerly awaited music festivals in Italy.
The festival's itinerant format has consistently involved multiple cultural sites in the Vesuvian area, including the Miglio d'Oro villas, Vesuvius National Park, and the cultural heritage of the Vesuvius coastline. These sites have been enhanced and made accessible to the general public, extending the average length of stay of tourists in the area.
The festival's programming includes numerous activities designed to foster cross-cultural understanding and communication. These activities utilize music and art as a means of enhancing the local heritage sites. The festival aims to bridge the gap between the past and the future, between tradition and contemporary art, and between the Mediterranean region and the global community.
