Stresa Festival 2026
Classical music, jazz, and much more: the 65th edition of the Stresa Festival promises a rich tapestry of sounds, rhythms, colors, and emotions. One of Europe’s leading summer music events, the Festival will take place from July 16 to September 6. The 2026 Stresa Festival will welcome numerous international artists, offering a broad panorama of music from past and present, where tradition and modernity come together in perfect harmony.All of this unfolds in some of the most enchanting locations around Lake Maggiore, in keeping with the environmentally conscious vision that Artistic Director Mario Brunello has infused into the Festival. Once again this year, audiences will be invited to enjoy unique listening experiences and to adopt a tree that will be planted in the “Claudio Abbado Wood.”Music and nature thus meet in an ideal and natural setting along the shores and islands of Lake Maggiore.For more information, visit www.stresafestival.eu
