Calendimaggio in Assisi

Beginning of May

This festival celebrates popular, ancient traditions. It spectacularly evokes medieval and Renaissance costumes and life. The two ancient medieval districts, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest amidst the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candles.
