Palio del Golfo 2026

The Palio is the city’s main summer event, combining sport and local traditions, and is spread over four days of events:

Friday 31 July: Evening parade of the districts with the Pali handover ceremony

Saturday 1 August: Weighing and inspection of the boats, village dinner and ‘blue night’

Sunday 2 August: Official races (women’s, junior and senior categories) starting in the afternoon, followed by an evening fireworks display over the sea.
