Special events and exhibitions on the Island of Elba

Visiting the Island of Elba during events, festivals, and folk celebrations will surely add value to your vacation. You will discover an island that is different from the Elba of the sea and beaches: an island whose roots lie in stories of ancient peoples and medieval beliefs, an island made of music, dances, flavors, colors, and sounds.

And why not choose your arrival dates based on the folk festivals that repeat every year and offer the chance to discover another side of Elba?

If you are passionate trekkers, you could take advantage of the Festival of Walking in spring: a month of guided and completely free excursions to discover the ancient Elban paths; or visit Elba in autumn when food and wine festivals like the Grape Festival or the Chestnut Festival enliven the small villages perched on the hills. In summer, instead, you will find events of all kinds: from costume festivals, such as the beautiful historical reenactment of Innamorata on July 14, to international music festivals.

Infoelba recommends: our network includes the portal Elba Eventi. You will find all the events, concerts, festivals, theater performances, and cinema schedules: there’s always something to do on Elba!

Below, you will find the most important events that have been bringing Elban folk traditions back to life for years, and sometimes for centuries, involving locals and tourists in a whirlwind of emotions.
