April to October, Positano.

Held in the stunning seaside town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast, this art festival opens with a catwalk show on the beach.

June, St. Andrew's Celebration:

The patron saint of Amalfi, Saint Andrew is honoured several times a year, but the celebrations on 27 June are by far the biggest and most spectacular. Fish in all its forms - fresh, fried, stewed, boiled... accompanies the celebration, which concludes in the evening with a firework show.

 

July to September, Ravello festival.

Successor to the Wagner Festival, the original music event held in honour of the German composer, who visited the area in 1880. Held in churches, gardens and piazzas around Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast, this two-month musical extravaganza features orchestras, chamber groups, jazz, art shows, dance, photographic exhibits, talks, cinema and a lot more

Every year, the town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast remembers the landing of the Saracens with a re-enactment of the battle that took place on the night of 15 August 1558. Actors in costume, music, food and the almost-guaranteed spectacular sunset make for an entertaining family event.
