September in Asciano is more than just a month — it’s a journey into the most authentic roots of our land. It’s a burst of color, flavor, emotion and tradition that brings the whole community together. During this time, the town comes alive, welcoming both visitors and locals into a unique atmosphere where history and modern life blend in a rich calendar of events for all ages.

Religious celebrations mark the first events on the calendar, with heartfelt ceremonies, processions, and moments of reflection that express Asciano’s deep spiritual heritage. This connection to faith and tradition lives on through generations, remaining a vital part of local identity.

But the true heartbeat of the month lies in the vibrant energy of the contrade — the town’s districts — which come alive with open-air dinners, music, traditional games, and a strong sense of community. The highlight? Without a doubt, the Palio dei Ciuchi, a one-of-a-kind folkloric race where the contrade compete riding friendly little donkeys! A fun and passionate event, filled with cheer and a healthy dose of rivalry — a must-see experience every year.

Culture and art lovers will also find plenty to enjoy, with exhibitions by local artists and shows that create a dialogue between past and present, blending tradition with innovation.

Children are warmly welcomed too, with a range of dedicated activities: creative workshops, performances, games, and entertainment designed to help them discover the area while having fun.

We look forward to seeing you in Asciano — where every corner tells a story, and every event becomes a cherished memory.
