San Gemini Summer features a variety of events of which the most important is the
San Gemini World Music Festival.

| Esibizione degli sbandieratori |
Giostra dell'Arme: a historical re-evocation that begins in the
last weekend of September and ends the second Sunday of October . Local taverns serving specialities open and the town is decorated with the colours of the two ‘rioni’, or districts (red and blue for Rocca and white and green for Piazza). A number of Medieval-style events including the “offerta dei ceri”, the investiture of the knights and the historical parade. The event culminates in a joust where three knights from each ‘rione’ compete to run their lance through a 5-centimentre diameter ring, and then fix it at a gallop into a coat of arms. The winning ‘rione’ gets the silver "palio".
The
San Gemini flag throwers perform during the event.
