About Lorenzana Festival
A village festival in the Pisan Hills
The Lorenzana Festival is the most anticipated summer event in the village of the same name, a district of the Crespina Lorenzana municipality in the Province of Pisa, in the heart of Tuscany. Nestled in the Pisan Hills, Lorenzana is a charming town dominated by the 13th-century church dedicated to Saints Bartolomeo and Cristoforo. The late-summer festivities revolve around the figure of San Bartolomeo, the patron saint celebrated on August 24th.
For one evening, the historic center transforms into a journey of colors, sounds, and scents. The streets and squares host an artisan market, live music, children's shows, live painting, and a convivial sunset dinner served on hay bales, featuring local food and wine specialties with views stretching across the hills to the sea. It is a classic Tuscan village festival—simple, genuine, and perfect for bringing residents and visitors together in a true community atmosphere.
What to expect
- Artisan market through the historic center, featuring local products and handmade creations.
- Live music and DJ sets, with concerts animating the squares until late.
- Children's entertainment and wooden games for all ages.
- Live painting and street art throughout the village.
- Sunset dinner on hay bales with aperitifs and local gastronomic delights.
