Fall Sagras in Tuscany

[Paul Chebator]

We will be blessed with returning to Tuscany for around the 25th time this coming fall. Just wondering if anyone is aware of any websites that may have an updated list of Sagras and festivals in Tuscany and Umbria for this coming October-November.

Tourist office sites are often a good starting point, often via their wider events listing. e.g. https://www.visittuscany.com/en/events

After that a general search for festa and/or sagra often seems to reveal a few more, sometimes a website devoted to a specific festival, but also hobbyist/commercial aggregation listings, of which I've yet to find one that feels the 'definitive' site. Interested if anyone knows of a good such listing site.

Sometimes details can go up rather close to the event itself, so if planning 3-4 months in advance, we're sometimes left to predict this year's date(s) from the timing of last year's event.

Thanks Ian. That is helpful.

Never hurts to swing by the local tourist information offices once you are there.

We were able to enjoy the chestnut festivals (Careggina and Gallicano), a pumpkin festival (Diecimo), Halloween celebration (Borgo a Mozzano), and the Lucca Comics Festival this past year. We normally take part in the olive harvest (Tempagnano di Valdottavo), but there was no crop to harvest this time around.
