A spring celebration in the heart of the Valdarno Pisano

The Spring Festival in Ponte a Egola is one of the most anticipated events in the spring calendar for this village in the municipality of San Miniato, in the province of Pisa. For an entire day, the town center turns into a large open-air festival space where trade, gastronomy, and entertainment blend together for families, children, and visitors of all ages.
