The Summer Jamboree is in full swing. Dance lessons, concerts, and markets are available.

The Summer Jamboree is in full swing, with full skirts, shiny shoes, and shiny hair all ready to immerse themselves in the '40s and '50s. It starts at 10 a.m. with rock 'n' roll at Hawaiian Beach and Mascalzone, and continues until aperitif time at Hawaiian Beach, on Lungo Mare Mameli, where the free dance lesson returns from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. At 5 p.m., the Festival kicks off in the historic center with the Vintage Market and numerous stalls, and in Piazza Simoncelli until midnight, you can watch the Fearless Devid Motordrome show, the last and only functioning motordrome left in Italy, dating back to 1937: every hour, vintage Indian motorcycles whizz by inside a giant wooden barrel.

There's plenty to see on the two stages hosting major live concerts: in Piazza Garibaldi, it's Rachel Hermlin feat. Hermlin Trio, a very young singer with a voice from another era, who will be accompanied by a formidable trio from Berlin, Verona, and Stuttgart. Meanwhile, on the Hera Stage at La Rocca, the dancing will begin as usual at 6 pm with a free dance lesson. Immediately afterward, the Groovy Four, a Spanish band with a unique repertoire designed specifically for dancers, will perform. Piazza Roma will also be the centerpiece from today until August 10th, with its outdoor dance floor and music from DJs from around the world. And like every evening, the Rotonda a Mare will host the after-festival event: tonight, DJ Crazy Finger, DJ Jay Cee, and DJ Elliot Kirby will get the Summer Jamboree crowd dancing. And tomorrow, on the main stage in Piazza Garibaldi, it's Martin Burguez & His Rhythm Combo's turn, with their groove-filled repertoire. Summer friends Greg and Max Paiella are back at Rocca Roveresca, ready to don the Jolly Rockers, a symbol of the Festival, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. A week of rock 'n' roll and swing will fill every corner of the city's historic center, where you can also sample American specialties at the food stands set up between the Rocca Roveresca grounds and Piazza del Duca. A week of music and entertainment, including a vintage shuttle bus to travel from Mascalzone to Hawaiian Beach, stopping at the train station for easy access to the historic center. Shuttle buses from the park and ride areas will also run from 6:00 PM.
