❓FAQ

When does Bay Fest 2026 take place, and for how many nights?

The August run goes from 10 to 13 August 2026 — four nights in all: 10, 11 and 12 August at Beky Bay in Bellaria Igea-Marina (Rimini province), then the Pool Party on 13 August, which an official notice dated 5 August confirmed would also be held entirely at Beky Bay. Two earlier shows, on 10 and 16 July, complete the run and are included in the Full Pass.

Is there a campsite?

Yes. Bay Camp sits right next to the concert area. Pitches are paid — the price shown on the ticketing site is per person — and every camper must hold their own festival ticket. Tents are not rented on site; toilets, sinks and shower cubicles are provided, and security is on the campsite around the clock. Campfires and coal grills are banned, as are motor vehicles including campers and caravans, and animals other than guide dogs. Check-in times are still to be announced on the official website.

From what age do children need a ticket?

Under-9s get in free when accompanied by a paying adult, who remains fully responsible for the child throughout the festival.

What is there to eat on site?

Food comes from Birgo Burger, set up right on the beach at Beky Bay and serving burgers between sets.

How far back does the festival go?

The site’s archive starts with the 14 August 2015 edition, when Millencolin played Beky Bay. Since then the bill has featured The Offspring, NOFX, Bad Religion, Pennywise and Dropkick Murphys, with the festival based at Parco Pavese between 2016 and 2022.
