Pick a month in this food festival calendar to see the festivals whose current edition falls in it. A festival that runs across two months appears in both. When editions of two different years share a month, the page splits them by year, and festivals whose next dates are not yet published come last, under “Dates to be confirmed”, listed by their usual months.

Weekly markets open that month have their own list at the bottom of the page. Every date comes from an official source, and each listing shows when it was last checked: look at that date before you book travel.
