The Aqua Festival – The Philosophy of the Sea returns to Jesolo for its second edition, featuring 15 events that will take place at sunrise and sunset from June 15 to 29, 2024. The performances will be held on the beach at Piazza Brescia, in Pegaso Park, and—new this year—at the JMuseo.

The Festival is expanding, offering a diverse program that encompasses music, theater, poetry, popular science, travel, art, and reflection.

Prominent figures from the world of contemporary culture set to attend include Vincenzo Schettini, Mogol with Gioni Barbera, Paolo Borzacchiello, Francesco Costa, Debora Villa, Manuel Agnelli, Gianluca Gotto, Matteo Saudino, Gloria Campaner with Franco Arminio, Paola Turci with Gino Castaldo, Alessandro Bergonzoni, Roberto Cacciapaglia, Luca Beatrice, Lucio Luca, and Giovanni Dell’Olivo.

Many of the performances are specially designed for the Aqua Festival, taking advantage of its unique coastal setting.

The theme of this second edition, “I Prefer the Sound of the Sea,” pays homage to the soothing sound that draws us away from chaos, encouraging us to face the abyss without fear. This theme highlights the emotional connection we have with the nature around us, through the common thread of water that links all the events.

The Aqua Festival – The Philosophy of the Sea is sponsored by the City of Jesolo and the JesoloVenice Tourism Consortium, with artistic direction by Marilisa Capuano and organization by Gabriele Vian.

All events are free, except for the talk with Paolo Borzacchiello (tickets and information at www.festivalaqua.it).

This festival celebrates water and the power of words, bringing the Jesolo community together on the beach to share emotions and thoughts.

The 2024 program of the Jesolo Aqua Festival is packed with events covering a wide range of topics and experiences, offering the public the opportunity to immerse themselves in a variety of cultural and intellectual stimuli.
