San Gemini - Events in San Gemini

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.

Infiorata

The Infiorata Sangeminese takes place on the Corpus Domini feast, in June. Competitors create intricate decorative patterns and figures on the street where the procession passes, using only flowers.
