Whenever you travel there is likely to be something happening close by, however if you would like to plan your trip around a specific event or festival, then here are details of some of the more interesting ones.
Rural Festivals
Corsica has many rural fairs and festivals that celebrate local produce and they are a fantastic insight into the Corsican people and their love for the island.
A Fiera di U Casgiu, is a rural cheese and local produce fair in Venaco, as seen on Rick Stein's Mediterranean Escapes. With around 10,000 visitors a year, the Foire de l'Olivier, Montegrosso honours the olives of the Balagne in the delightful setting of an olive grove in Montemagiorre and just down along the coast in the Balagne village of Aregno, the Foire de l'Amandier includes tastings, painting exhibitions, events for children and cooking contests all based around the almond and almond trees. For those who love wine, Fiera di U Vinu, in the heart of the village of Luri, invites the public to taste wines from throughout Corsica and is a major gathering for the island's wine growers.
