Local
Festivals
Throughout
the year there are many local festivals - more like street parties
- in the area. The towns of Santa Fiora, Arcidosso and Roccalbegna
stage open air classical concerts during July and August and every
village has a series of “Sagre” to celebrate various
local delicacies such as Gnocchi, Bread or Funghi from the summer
months through the autumn. The New Year and the Befana (when a
witch of the same name brings presents to good children on 6th
January) are celebrated with bonfires in the piazzas, mulled wine
and polenta.
