Festivals and events in Puglia – June 2019

June is the month when Puglia definitely wakes up. The schools close, the locals start again to populate the towns alleys and tourists are more and more. Evenings are now hot and the days are the longest and brightest of the year. So people are more and more willing to walk in the alleys of the beautiful historic centers in search of a good ice cream or a purchase at a market stall.
June is also the month when the festivals and summer holidays begin. Two important patronal festivities, San Giovanni and Sant’Antonio take place this month and many Apulian villages and towns celebrate this recurrence.
Here is our selection of events not to be missed in June in Puglia.
