If you’re looking for something to do after a day of museum-hopping and cobblestone strolling, make your way down to Lungo il Tevere and spend your evening by the river. Translating to Along the Tiber, this beloved Roman summer tradition stretches along the banks of the Tiber River, offering a vibrant lineup of restaurants, markets, games, and bars nestled beneath the city’s historic bridges. Whether you’re in the mood for a cocktail, a juicy burger, or a new book to flip through by the water, Lungo il Tevere is the place to be on a warm Roman night.
This summer, the festival returns with an exciting new edition of Salotto Tevere 2025, the cultural heart of the historic Lungo il Tevere…Roma event, now in its 23rd year. From June 6 to August 24, the stretch between Ponte Garibaldi and Ponte Sisto transforms into an open-air urban arena filled with art, music, performances, and community events – all part of a city-wide celebration leading up to the Jubilee.
Visitors will find a wide variety of food stands and artisan stalls along the riverfront. Local vendors serve everything from fresh pasta and Neapolitan pizza to gourmet burgers and Sicilian cannoli. Popular names like La Casa del Supplì, Burger Wave, and Gelateria del Teatro offer Roman street food favorites, while cocktail bars like Drink It and Tiki Bar Trevi shake up craft drinks with a riverside view. Meanwhile, artisan stands showcase handmade jewelry, vintage books, leather goods, and unique gifts that reflect the creativity of local makers.
The event is proudly supported by Regione Lazio, Roma Capitale, and Municipio I, alongside sponsors including Banca Generali, Radio Rock, and Acea. Their backing helps make the festival accessible to all – with free entry every evening – and ensures that the programming supports independent artists and local businesses alike.
Visitors can access the event area via entrances under the Sisto Bridge, the Garibaldi Bridge, and the Sublicius Bridge. Each entrance leads to a different stretch of the riverside, making it easy to explore various installations, eateries, and performance spaces along the route.
Salotto Tevere 2025 isn’t just a summer event – it’s a cultural experience where Romans and travelers come together to share the city’s creative pulse. Whether you’re here to shop, snack, sip, or simply stroll, the riverside offers a different kind of Roman night: laid-back, local, and full of life.
