On 24 and 25 July, Fortunago, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy set on the hills of the Oltrepò Pavese, becomes the stage for Fortunago Enjoy, two evenings of music, good food and entertainment for all ages. Two very different moods take turns in the same village square: the tropical warmth of the Caribbean on Friday, and the timeless hits of the revival scene on Saturday, together forming one big summer event that keeps the heart of the village alive late into the night.

Friday 24 July: The Caribbean in the Village

The first evening is an invitation to travel across the ocean without ever leaving the Oltrepò. From 8:00 pm, the village kicks off with dinner and live music, setting a warm, convivial, tropical mood from the very start. From 9:30 pm, the party truly ignites with a set by DJ Ross, moving through salsa, bachata and the most infectious Latin rhythms, alongside performances by the Latin Revolution dance school, ready to lead anyone onto the dance floor.

Completing the Caribbean atmosphere is the evening's signature cocktail, the Shandy Mango: a fresh, fruity drink made to accompany a night built entirely around dancing and good company.

Saturday 25 July: Revival Music

The second evening changes register completely, moving through decades of great music, from indie folk to funk, all the way to the timeless hits that have had entire generations dancing.

From 7:30 pm, Amberixa opens the night with an indie slaze folk sound, intimate and singer-songwriter in style.

From 8:00 pm, Mad Puffin! take the stage, a funk rock band that raises the energy with groove-driven, high-powered sound.

From 9:30 pm, it's For Never Young's turn, together with DJ Marcello Agostelli and vocalist Vale V., for a long musical journey through all the greatest hits from the 1970s to today, guaranteed to have visitors of every age singing and dancing well into the night.

Food, gelato and fun for the whole family

Throughout the event, on both evenings, the village comes alive off-stage too. A bar and grill service runs continuously, along with plenty of draught beer and a selection of special cocktails to accompany the festivities. A special mention goes to the artisan gelato served by Teo, from the Aristea Ristoro Vittoria food stand, always a popular treat for both children and adults.

The programme also caters to younger visitors, with inflatable games set up especially for children, and to anyone looking for some pure fun with friends, with a dedicated beer pong area.

Practical information

Fortunago Enjoy takes place on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 July in the village of Fortunago, in the Province of Pavia. Admission is free, and the event unfolds across the streets and squares of the historic centre, combining live music, DJ sets, street food and family activities. A perfect opportunity for a summer weekend discovering one of the most charming villages of the Oltrepò Pavese, filled with good music, genuine flavours and non-stop fun.
