Trasimeno Soul Weekender
The Soul Weekender on Lake Trasimeno, in the heart of Umbria
If you love soul music, the scent of vinyl, endless dancefloors and that unique atmosphere that only true soul weekenders can create, there’s one event you need to mark on your calendar: the Trasimeno Soul Weekender, from 26 to 28 June 2026 three days on Lake Trasimeno where time flows to the rhythm of crossover soul, sweet soul, mid-tempo, 70’s soul, boogie, disco and two-step.
This is one of those festivals to experience fully: poolside sessions, international DJs, a vinyl market, breathtaking sunsets and an entire community coming from all over Europe to dance, listen, collect and share their passion for rare soul.
An independent soul weekender, created by those who truly love vinyl soul
The Trasimeno Soul Weekender was born from a simple and beautiful idea: to create an independent, self-funded event dedicated exclusively to pure soul music, played as it should be strictly from vinyl.
The format follows the tradition of legendary English weekenders:
• Poolside afternoons with crossover, sweet soul and mid-tempo
• Night-time nighters with 70’s soul, boogie, disco & two-step
• National and international DJs and collectors
• A soul and vintage vinyl market active all weekend
• An international, passionate and warm-hearted community
It’s the perfect event if you love dancing, collecting records or simply breathing the magic of soul vinyl culture.
