Francesco La Sala, mayor of San Vito Lo Capo, stated, "Once again this year, the Cous Cous Fest offers its visitors a schedule of free concerts and shows that enriches the program of the international festival, catering to a diverse audience, from the young to the not-so-young."

All concerts will be held on the beach of San Vito Lo Capo at 10:30 PM and are completely free.
