Free festivals in Italy
Discover the best free festivals in Italy.
Italy celebrates all year round, often with centuries-old traditions. Think of the Battle of the Oranges in Ivrea during carnival, the Festa della Repubblica on 2 June with a parade in Rome, and the Festa della Salute in Venice on 21 November, when a temporary bridge is built across the Grand Canal. Most of these events are free to attend; at most you pay for a grandstand seat. Combine a visit with a city break for the full experience.
