Music Circus

Music Circus in Montalcino

Music Circus is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Montalcino, located in the heart of the Siena province in Tuscany. Organized by the Quartiere Borghetto, the event brings two nights of live music to Piazza Garibaldi (the historic Piazza Padella), enlivening the center of the Brunello town with concerts, performances, and a convivial atmosphere.

A festival born from the neighborhood

Music Circus is much more than just a concert series: it is an expression of community life in the Quartiere Borghetto, one of the four historic districts of Montalcino alongside Travaglio, Ruga, and Pianello. The event is part of the grand calendar of patronal feasts of the four districts, which transform Montalcino every June into an uninterrupted month of music, tradition, and entertainment, celebrating the history and strong community spirit that defines each neighborhood.

What to expect

• Free concerts: two nights of live music open to everyone, with themed shows ranging from rock to hits from past decades.
• Food & beverage area: open from late afternoon, offering wine, beer, street food, and a grill for dining in the square before the concerts.
• Local atmosphere: the audience is a mix of locals and visitors, enjoying the informal and festive vibe typical of Tuscan neighborhood festivals.

Montalcino, the home of Brunello

Experiencing Music Circus is also a perfect opportunity to discover Montalcino, world-famous for its Brunello wine, and its extraordinary medieval historic center dominated by the 14th-century fortress. The Music Circus evenings are the perfect way to combine music, great food, and the authentic hospitality of one of Tuscany's most beautiful towns.
