Hi Bettini! Yes, you can absolutely get a good flavor of things during the day…most of the workshops are open in the afternoon during the festival (four are open all year round). Of course, it is very special at night lit by torches and after a good dinner in the open-air taverna, but a day visit can certainly suffice in a pinch! Enjoy…

Thanks for the article Rebecca! We will in the area for the last few days of the Mercato this year. How much “themed” activity is going on during the day? Will we be able to get a good flavor for things if we were just to stop by for a few hours during the daytime? Or is it necessary to show up in the evenings to fully participate?

Many thanks,

Bettini
