Harvest Festival of San GimignanoFerie delle Messi
Each June San Gimignano's four quartieri reset the town to its medieval calendar for a long weekend. Costumed processions weave between the towers; archers and falconers compete in the piazze; banquets in each quartiere serve dishes pulled from medieval recipe books. The closing is a Cavalcade of the Knights — a real timed joust on horseback.
