Events this year
The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.
Festa di San Simplicio In mid-May Olbia celebrates its patron saint for a whole week, with a procession, a palio, Sardinian poetry contests and food stalls. The most heartfelt festival of the year: perfect for the vocabulary of traditions and for meeting Sardinians. | mid-May |
Sagra delle cozze The gulf of Olbia lives off its mussel farms and celebrates them in summer with tastings by the sea. A tasty chance to work on food vocabulary, numbers and ordering at the counter. | summer |
Estate olbiese From June to September concerts, open-air cinema and markets bring the Brin quay and the central squares to life. Long, informal evenings, ideal for practising Italian outside the classroom. | June–September |
