In early June, you can witness another interesting musical event gathering fans of ethnic rock in one place - this is Riviera Folk Festival. Via V. Emanuele Orlando, 8 is chosen as the venue. The list of participants includes a lot of famous and talented musicians. Another significant musical event in the life of the city is called Ferrock and held in Parco Retrone in the middle of July. The fest is devoted to rock in all its manifestations. Here you can listen to completely different subgenres - from fiery and funny reggae to Nu metal and Indie rock. Almost at the same time, there's a chance to visit Spiorock where headliners are not so much eminent. A great opportunity to discover new facets in music. The venues are via Calvi, via Giuriato, and via Piazzetta.
On September 8, the central streets of the city are decorated with flowers, and people in colorful clothes are walking all around. This is how people in Vicenza celebrate the feast of the patron saint of the city (Festa della Madonna di Monte Berico). Despite the fact that the holiday is of religious origin, everyone is having fun. A special program for children is prepared in the form of the opening an amusement park in Campo Marzo. Another widely celebrated holiday is dedicated to Saint Giuseppe. It begins in mid-March and ends in early April. The celebration looks very impressive - on the central streets you can watch dance and theatrical performances, a beauty contest, Latin American dance competitions, and culinary competitions for the title of the best chef.
