Assisi-Calendimaggio 2017

Hi all,

While home based in Siena we would like to take a day trip to Assisi during the Calendimaggio first week in May, Can anyone give a few details on which day would be a good one. I understand the events actually start earlier in the week. We had already been planning a day trip here with an early start from Siena, so I feel fortunate to have run into this. I can order tickets on line I think but if I waited to the day of, early, would I still be able to get tickets? How much does this impact parking outside of town and seeing Assisi or should we choose another hill town.Is this worth going to? I am kind of interested if it doesn't create a problem seeing Assisi.

I was in Assisi during the whole Calendimaggio festival in May 2015, but I was staying in town, so I can't help you with parking info. What I can tell you is that the tickets (which are for the bleacher seats in the main Piazza Commune) do indeed sell out. The day with the best show is probably Saturday, when the two parts of town compete against each other in huge pageants in that square.

Great opportunity for photos.

Are there ticket scalpers there like at a ball game to buy tickets from if it is sold out at the ticket window?
