How to read a festival listing

Dates come from the organiserA listing shows the dates of the current edition when the organiser has published them, otherwise the usual months, and says so. The date we last checked is printed on every page.Open the calendarOne main theme per festivalThe badge on each card is the main food of the festival. A wine fair with food stalls sits under wine, and also appears under street food when that is part of the programme.All themesWeekly markets and festival toursA weekly market has no edition: its card gives the days and the season. A festival tour has one page for the tour and one for each city, with its own dates.All destinations
