Oltre La Rocca

EVENTS

The 6th edition of OltreLaRocca is about to arrive!

Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6 marks the beginning of the fairytale of Montecatini Alto with music, art, and street theater!

For the 6th consecutive year, Montecatini Alto relives its fairytale atmosphere with “Oltre La Rocca,” a street art festival scheduled for Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6. The event will once again transform the village into an enchanted place with an oneiric atmosphere, hosting street artists from all over the world who will perform in the historic town amidst magic and dreams.

A rich program of performances features international artists performing in two evocative locations: the well-established Largo Luigi Gori (in front of the former Quisisana), a “panoramic terrace” offering a 360-degree view of the Valdinievole all the way to Serravalle Pistoiese, and the ancient Rocca, which provides a natural “stage” illuminated only by candlelight, ready to thrill spectators with an intimate and poetic atmosphere.

Two show sessions are scheduled for both evenings in Largo Luigi Gori, along with artistic performances at various times inside the historic Rocca. The shows will be accessible to all, and for the performances in Largo Luigi Gori, free seats must be reserved through the website https://www.oltrelarocca.it/, where the complete program of the event is also available.
