Main Events

The calendar of events in Cortona is full of happenings some of which have now become standing appointments that are renewed every season year after year. Concerts and plays, art and photography exhibitions, cultural events and food festivals represent the real soul of the life in Cortona.

Although many of these events are held during the summer when the climate allows taking advantage of the beautiful settings of the squares, there are also many interesting events held at other times of the year: food festivals in June and September, the Archidado Joust that takes place on the first Sunday of June, from the number of concerts during the summer to the magic of Christmas time in Cortona.
