From September 18 to 21, 2026, Lignano Sabbiadoro will host the second edition of the International Dance and Music Festival “Golden Sand” – an international forum bringing together dance, music, and cultures from around the world on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.

The festival is open to folklore and modern dance groups, choirs, orchestras, majorette formations, and music bands, with no restrictions on age or number of participants. The concept is clear – a stage where different traditions and styles meet to create a shared experience.

The highlight of the event is the gala concert, where all participants will showcase their art in a dynamic international program. At the same time, the festival offers opportunities for cultural excursions to iconic cities such as Venice and Trieste, as well as time to relax by the sea.

The event combines stage performances with the atmosphere of the Italian coastline – a place where art is experienced not only on stage, but beyond it as well.

The organizers invite all interested groups to submit their applications and become part of an inspiring international experience on the Italian coast.
