About Quartieri in Festa

On Ferragosto evening, in Orvieto, Piazza della Repubblica fills with the colours of the four historic districts. "Quartieri in Festa" is the popular festival born from the collaboration between the City District Committee and the four Anterioni of Corsica, Serancia, Olmo, and Stella: music, dancing, and a district-themed dress code to celebrate August 15th together, within the context of the Feast of the Madonna Assunta, the city's patron saint.

Ferragosto with a District Flavour

In Orvieto, the evening of August 15th has a very special flavour. Quartieri in Festa is the popular festival that brings together the city's four historic districts — Corsica, Serancia, Olmo, and Stella — in Piazza della Repubblica for an evening of music and dancing focused on Orvieto's district identity.

Dress in Your District's Colours

The initiative, born from the collaboration between the City District Committee and the four Anterioni, with the patronage of the Municipality of Orvieto, invites participants to come to the square wearing the colours of their district: red and yellow for Corsica, red and white for Serancia, white and green for Olmo, blue and yellow for Stella (Santa Maria della Stella). A way to "paint the festival" with the city's colours.

Under the Sign of the Madonna Assunta

The evening is part of the celebrations for the Feast of the Madonna Assunta, the patron saint of Orvieto, which enlivens the city (Province of Terni) every August 15th. Quartieri in Festa is its most popular and youthful iteration: a street festival that, after its debut, quickly won the hearts of Orvieto's residents.

Quartieri in Festa — edition 2026

Quartieri in Festa on Ferragosto is included in Orvieto's 2026 event calendar for August 15th in Piazza della Repubblica, currently marked as to be confirmed. The popular festival of the four Districts — Corsica, Serancia, Olmo, and Stella — would likely feature music, dancing, and a district-themed dress code within the context of the Feast of the Madonna Assunta, the city's patron saint.

For 2026, Orvieto's event calendar places Quartieri in Festa on the evening of August 15th in Piazza della Repubblica, currently indicated as to be confirmed.

A detailed program and final confirmation are expected from the organizers in the weeks preceding the event.
