BAY FEST ALWAYS STARTS WITH A POOL PARTY
Music, pool, and freedom: the punkiest summer preview at Mapo Club
Looking for things to do in Igea Marina on August 6th before Bay Fest 2025 begins?
Stop for a moment: there's a pool party that smells of summer, ice-cold beers and the first jumps under the speakers.
It's the unofficial kickoff party for the most anticipated punk-rock festival of the year, and it's right here, just steps from our hotel.
The Mapo Club Pool Party is the perfect prelude to three days of pure energy, a concentration of music, freedom, and new friendships.
And you, whose heart is already racing at the thought of seeing Refused live, deserve to start off on a high note.
On August 6, 2025 , the Mapo Club pool will transform into a dancefloor bathed in sunset sun and rhythm.
Between a dip and a cocktail, you'll find yourself dancing with strangers who already seem like friends, to the sound of a DJ set that smacks of California and Italian punk .
There's no dress code required, just the desire to be there.
Because the true spirit of Bay Fest begins here : among soft lights, sincere noises, and the first notes bouncing between the sky and your skin.
And after the party?
