Festa del Turista
A gastronomic and dancing evening in the heart of Airole's summer
About Festa del Turista di Airole
The festival celebrating Airole's hospitality
In the height of summer, the small Municipality of Airole (Province of Imperia) dedicates an evening to those who choose the tranquility of the Roia Valley for their holidays. The Festa del Turista is a mid-July event designed as a meeting point between the village community and holidaymakers, in a genuine and familiar atmosphere.
Food and dancing in the party hall garden
The evening takes place in the garden in front of the village's party hall, set up with food stalls and a dance floor. It's the classic formula for summer festivals in Ligurian villages: local cuisine, wine, live music, and lots of ballroom dancing, in an intimate setting where everyone knows each other.
Airole and the Roia Valley
A valley village along the Ventimiglia–Cuneo railway line, Airole represents an authentic and less touristy Liguria, where hamlets and narrow streets retain the slow pace of yesteryear. The Festa del Turista is the perfect opportunity to discover this corner of the hinterland Riviera dei Fiori, a stone's throw from the French border.
