Everything is ready in San Vito Lo Capo for the twenty-seventh edition of the Cous Cous Fest, the late summer gastronomic event that transforms the famous seaside village into the world capital of couscous. The aim of the event is not only to celebrate a dish that is poor in itself, although it is very popular not only in the Maghreb area but also throughout the world.
Through an international competition, this delicacy made of semolina and water will have its exaltation with a much more important aim: to bring together people from the most diverse cultures through the ancient ritual of food and conviviality.
The Cous Cous Fest of San Vito Lo Capo has transformed over the years and has become not only a gastronomic event but also an opportunity to promote shows and entertainment. Therefore, the concerts that over the years have brought over 160 artists to San Vito Lo Capo, from the big names in Italian music to the stars of international music, are not to be missed.
And this year too there will be no shortage of absolutely free concerts that fans can see on the stage set up on the beach. Opening the singing festival on Friday 20 September will be Rappresentante di Lista, a musical group formed in Palermo in 2011 but which achieved fame thanks to the 2021 Sanremo Festival with the song “Amare”, which came in eleventh place in the final ranking.
Between tastings and stands of over 50 exhibitors, the musical events will follow one another and on Sunday 22 September it will be the turn of Ricchi e Poveri who are experiencing a second career thanks to the relaunch they had at the last Sanremo Festival with the song “Ma non tutta la vita” ranking in 21st place.
Another protagonist of youth music will take to the stage on Thursday 26 September. Piero Pelù will perform on the stage of San Vito Lo Capo to present his latest album “Deserti Tour 2024”.
Friday, September 27th will be Rose Villain´s turn while on Saturday, September 28th Big Mama will close the musical review. All concerts are free for this cultural integration festival that, through couscous, intends to unite peoples by enhancing their similarities and their differences.
