Where is the music stage?
Palco: PAHL-ko. Stage, platform. Also means 'box' in a theatre.
At any festival with live music. Italian village festivals often have multiple music venues — the main stage, a dance floor, and sometimes a jazz or folk corner.
Dov'è means 'where is'. Il palco is 'the stage'. Della musica is 'of the music'. Simple and functional — the kind of question that needs a quick answer.

C'è musica dal vivo tutta la sera?

Asking about the specific performers.
Almost every Italian village has a Filarmonica or Banda Musicale — a brass and wind ensemble that plays at every civic occasion. These bands are often 150+ years old and are central to local identity. The conductor (maestro) is a respected community figure.
