The Calendar of Authentic Ligurian Events
A calendar of 33 authentic Ligurian events, organised by the Ligurian Pro Loco (groups that promote their local area), including food and wine festivals, performances, and artisanal fairs.
The authentic events include; the Fish Festival in Camogli, the Herb and Lavender Festival in Cosio d’Arroscia, the Tira Festival in Cairo Montenotte, the Anchovy Jump in Laigueglia, and many others. These events are important in helping promote Ligurian art, culture, tastes, and traditions, with a special focus on the inland areas.
Authenticity at Zero-Kilometres
There are 33 events organised by the Pro Loco of UNPLI Liguria that highlight the territory of all four provinces. These events have been recognised as “Authentic Ligurian Events” and included in the 2024 Calendar of the Liguria Region. A total of 33 events were selected based on their originality, historical significance, regional, national, and international appeal, and, in the case of food festivals, their emphasis on typical Ligurian dishes or authentic zero-kilometre products.
The Calendar
The initiatives are spread over a period of 12 months based on the whole territory, with a preference for inland areas of the region. Download the 2024 Calender here (in Italian, English version below)
