From July 3 to September 26, 2026, the Herculaneum Archaeological Park will be open exceptionally in the evening, featuring seven performances inspired by the theme “Love and War,” along with illuminated walking tours and atmospheric experiences in the ancient Roman city.
“Fridays in Herculaneum” is back—the annual summer event that transforms the Herculaneum Archaeological Park into a grand open-air stage. Now in its ninth edition, the festival is dedicated to the theme of “Love and War” and offers an evening tour through the ruins of the ancient city—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—brought to life by theater, dance, and music performances.
The program features seven performances that will enliven the evenings, allowing participants to freely explore the buildings and streets of ancient Herculaneum, illuminated for the occasion and transformed into captivating natural backdrops. The events will take place on Fridays, July 3, 10, 17, 24, and 31; Friday, August 7; and, as part of European Heritage Days, Saturday, September 26. Each evening will be divided into two time slots: the first from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and the second from 10:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Tickets to participate in the event are already available. The full-price ticket costs 10 euros, while the reduced-price ticket—reserved for young people between the ages of 18 and 25 (including European Union citizens)—costs 5 euros. Admission is free for minors, people with disabilities, and their companions, as well as for park season pass holders, who may enjoy free admission on only one of the scheduled dates. In all cases, however, reservations are required, subject to availability for each session.
The complete schedule, booking procedures, and all relevant information for participating are available through the official channels of the Herculaneum Archaeological Park.
