The island hosts a feast of festivals and events throughout the year from colourful carnivals to religious processions and are your chance to experience a piece of true Sardinia.

Many of the festivities are traditions that have been ongoing for centuries and reveal a lot about the Sardinians themselves and their history. The magnificent costumes and jewellery that the women wear highlight the handicrafts of the island.
