Events in Sperlonga: the festivals and appointments that mark the year

Discover the rhythm of Sperlonga through its most significant events: from religious tradition to food and wine excellence and international sport.

Experiencing Sperlonga through its traditions

Sperlonga is not just a summer destination, but a village that marks time through fixed appointments, capable of uniting the local community and welcoming visitors. Knowing the calendar of events means coming into contact with the most authentic identity of this corner of the Pontine coast. Below, we explore three events that represent fundamental pillars of city life.

The Feast of the Patron Saints: San Leone Magno and San Rocco

The religious and popular event most felt by the citizens is undoubtedly the festival dedicated to the Patron Saints, San Leone Magno and San Rocco. It is a moment of deep devotion that involves the entire village. In the 2026 edition, the celebrations took place from September 3 to 7, enlivening the streets of the center with a rich program that alternated religious rites, band performances, and concerts in piazza Europa and piazza Fontana.

The highlights of 2026 saw:

Sunday, September 6: solemnity of San Leone Magno, characterized by the procession that carried the statue of the saint through the streets of the town, culminating with the suggestive blessing of the sea.
Monday, September 7: solemnity of San Rocco, which closed the celebrations with the dedicated procession and the traditional fireworks display.

Sapori di Mare e di Terra Pontina: local excellence

To celebrate the indissoluble bond between the territory and its resources, Sperlonga dedicates a special event to local fish production and food and wine. The event Sapori di Mare e di Terra Pontina is traditionally held at the end of June and represents the ideal way to greet the start of the summer season, offering visitors a journey through the typical products of the area.

The international spirit of the Beach Volley Camp

Sperlonga also opens up to international sport, becoming a privileged destination for athletes from Northern Europe. The Beach Volley Camp, born in 2019 thanks to the collaboration between Sperlonga Turismo and a Swedish tour operator expert in sports travel, transforms the Spiaggia di Levante into a dynamic stage. The 2026 edition saw the participation of numerous athletes in the period between September 26 and October 10.
