Italian Fall Festivals

We’ve said it before and we will say it again, but our favorite time of the year to take a trip to Italy is in the fall! The weather starts to cool down, the summer crowds suddenly disappear with the start of school, and the festivals are fantastic! Here are some ideas if you are planning a trip to Italy this fall or looking for future planning ideas.

Regatta Storica in Venice

Kick off the month with the historic Regatta Storica in Venice. This spectacular boat race takes place on the first Sunday in September, featuring beautifully decorated 16th-century-style boats and costumed oarsmen. It’s a sight you won’t want to miss!

Venice International Film Festival

Early September also brings the Venice International Film Festival on Lido Island. This star-studded event showcases the year’s most anticipated films and pays tribute to important figures in cinema. Perfect for movie buffs!

MITO International Music Festival

For music lovers, the MITO International Music Festival is a must. Travel between Milan and Torino to enjoy a series of classical concerts in various venues, from grand concert halls to intimate piazzas. The festival runs from early to mid-September.

Pomaria in Val di Non

From late September to mid-October, the Val di Non region celebrates Pomaria, a festival dedicated to apples. Enjoy apple picking, cooking shows, and tastings of local products like cheese and honey. It’s a delicious way to welcome the fall season.

International Fair of the White Truffle of Alba

Starting in early October and running through December, the International Fair of the White Truffle of Alba in Piedmont is a food lover’s dream. Experience cooking shows, historical reenactments, and unique dining experiences centered around the renowned White Truffle of Alba.
