A town celebrating all year round
A calendar of events that highlights traditions, culture, and community life, offering a comprehensive overview of the events that characterize Turi throughout the year.
Late spring – early summer, when the countryside around Turi lights up in red and the town enters cherry season , the most eagerly awaited and generous time of the year.
When the Ferrovia Cherry ripens, Turi lights up.
The Sagra is a natural encounter between people, flavors, and light: you walk, you taste, you deliberately lose yourself among the alleys and smiles. The red doesn't just linger on your fingers, but becomes emotion, memory, celebration.
An authentic tradition that needs no explanation: just be there.
Ferrovia cherry Festival in Turi
The Belcanto Festival accompanies Turi during two profoundly different yet complementary times of the year. In July , when the evenings are long and the squares stay alive late into the night, the music opens up to the outdoors and embraces the village beneath the summer sky. In December , however, the festival becomes more intimate: the light becomes softer, the spaces more intimate, and the voice becomes a caress, a reflection, a deep listening.
July & December · Opera and vocal music · Squares and cultural spaces · Listening and shared emotion

Autumn that smells of new wine
Bacco per Bacco is born when the light softens and the air fills with the scent of freshly harvested grapes. Autumn calls for celebration: the time of the grape harvest, of roasted chestnuts, of hands warming around a glass of wine. A time of transition, when the earth yields the fruit of a year's labor and invites us to slow down, share, and toast.
Bacco per Bacco enlivens the historic center of Turi with wine, flavors, and conviviality.
Tastings, traditional cuisine, and music transform the village into a vibrant meeting place, where the community and visitors share the rhythms, atmosphere, and culture of wine. This authentic event celebrates the local area and is renewed annually as a moment of celebration and participation.
