The “Dolomiti Arena – Slow Mountain Music Festival” will return in summer 2026, confirming its status as one of the most important music and tourism events in the Belluno Dolomites. The latest edition recorded around 10,000 attendees, with a strong share of visitors coming from outside the province (60%), highlighting the event’s ability to attract audiences from all over Italy thanks to its format of free concerts in outstanding natural settings.
The official presentation took place on April 8 at the headquarters of the Unione Montana Feltrina, reaffirming the cultural and promotional value of the festival, supported by the Fondo Grandi Eventi with contributions from the Veneto Region, Province of Belluno, Chamber of Commerce Treviso-Belluno, the Fondazione DMO Dolomiti Bellunesi, and the tourist tax of the Unione Montana Feltrina.
Institutional representatives from the public and tourism sectors attended the meeting, including local administrators and organizations such as the Dolomiti Prealpi Tourism Consortium and Scoppio Spettacoli, which handle the event’s organization and promotion.
According to the organizers, the strength of the festival lies in its ability to combine music, nature, and territorial enhancement, thanks to a rotation of artists and locations that allows the audience to discover iconic places across the Dolomites and the Valbelluna. A model that also generates tangible economic benefits for the territory.
2026 Summer Program
The program will open on Saturday, July 18 on Monte Avena with singer-songwriter Francesca Michielin, followed on Saturday, July 25 on the shores of Lake Santa Croce with Negrita.
The third stop will be Sunday, August 2 in Longarone, a new entry in the festival lineup, featuring Tiromancino.
The tour continues on Sunday, August 9 in Setteville with Omar Pedrini, and will conclude on Saturday, August 22 in Santa Giustina with Joan Thiele.
“Dolomiti Arena” is thus confirmed not only as a music festival, but also as a powerful tool for territorial promotion, bringing together local communities, institutions, and tourism in a shared vision for the development of the Belluno Dolomites.
