Saturday 20 – Friday 26 July, 2024.  But we also host a special event called ‘The Moveable Feast’ a day ahead of the festival on Friday 19 July. Find out more on our Supporter Events page.

The final concert of this year’s festival will take place on the evening of Friday 26 July.

The easiest and most often cheapest option is to fly and hire a car. Anghiari is located between a number of airports, the most popular being Perugia (1 hour drive), Florence (1.5 hour drive) and Bologna (2 hour drive).

More information can be found on out Travel webpage.

Although it is possible to enjoy the festival if you are not able to hire a car, we recommend having access to one if possible. Festival events take place both in Anghiari and neighbouring towns and villages. If you do not have a car, we can recommend a local taxi service to help you reach these venues.

Visitors to the festival are welcome for as many days as they like, and there is plenty to see in the wider Tuscany region. That said, most visitors cherish staying for the full week to experience all that the festival has to offer.

There are accommodation options to suit every budget, from villa rentals to nearby camp sites. Find out more on our Accommodation webpage.

The festival programme is announced in early summer, both on the website and direct to subscribers of Anghiari Festival email updates.

Many festival days include a chamber concert at 6pm and a full orchestral concert at 9pm, although in striving to make the experience as memorable as possible there are variations around this. Some days also feature a morning concert or event.

Many concerts in the festival are free to attend. There are usually some ticketed concerts which will be available to book once the programme is announced.

In addition to the programme of public concerts, we organise a number of events for Sinfonia Smith Square Friends and guests. These often include Prosecco receptions, private recitals and lunches.

Details of events will be sent to the Anghiari Mailing List.

Yes! The festival is renowned for its relaxed, informal atmosphere and families of all ages are welcome to join us.

There are no rules for what to wear, in keeping with the festival’s relaxed atmosphere. Please note that a number of the concerts take place outside and evenings can become chilly. Although Tuscany is known for its beautiful sunshine, the weather can be unpredictable so we recommend packing an umbrella just in case!

Let us know you are coming. Sign up for our Anghiari Mailing List, and in the months leading up to the festival we will email you with regular updates. If we know you are coming we can make sure you get the best out of your festival experience.

Arrive in plenty of time for concerts. This is especially true for some of the smaller chamber venues and churches which when busy offer standing room only for latecomers.
