On October 3rd and 4th, Assisi celebrates the Festa di San Francesco (Saint Francis), a major religious festival. In the morning, there is a procession directed to the Tomb of St. Francis in the Basilica di S. Francesco. There are also art exhibits, food tastings, etc. Many will gather from afar to Assisi to join the partying and great celebrations.
After the festa on October 5th, there is an annual street fair in Assisi (la Fiera di San Francesco). Vendors will set up their booths in the medieval alleyways as the town turns into a giant marketplace.
