Lucca Changes
From 29 October to 1 November, the festival we all know will become Lucca Changes this year, a new event, created from the essential need for change.
In any case, it will be a program full of events to be easily attended online at home thanks to the collaboration with RAI television in streaming.
The Wall of Lucca is one of the most popular places for locals and visitors at any hour of the day and night and in every season.
A walk before lunch on Sunday morning, a refreshing run in the evening after work, a romantic date under the magnolias, an aperitif at sunset, there is always a good reason to be there. In autumn, a great attraction is the sumptuous foliage that, from bulwark to bulwark, curtain to curtain, wraps the walls and the city in a warm embrace.
Workshops and educational activities in museums, archaeological parks and places of culture in the weekend and, on Saturday 26 September, late night opening with admission ticket at the symbolic cost of 1 euro. An extraordinary visit to celebrate the European heritage days 2020, the biggest and most popular cultural event in Europe.
The month of September is particularly dear to the people of Lucca for the celebration of the feast of the Holy Face, the Holy Cross that has protected the city for centuries and that also this year will be the protagonist of the feast of September 14, even if in reduced form.
The current situation has in fact led to the cancellation of the traditional moments of celebration, moments of sharing and meeting, but there will be many appointments for September Lucchese, from religious festivals to fairs, markets, shows and Luna Park.

The long midsummer weekend in Lucca starts on the 12th of August, 2020. The historical center of Lucca is not crowded as you might know it, but the cloisters, the alleys and the squares host many outdoor events to celebrate this strange summer season with social distancing, but still staying together with lots of music !!
Trees and music. Summer events at the Botanical Garden of Lucca.
On a May night trees are said to sing, in all the forests of the world, for those who are sensitive enough to listen. On that night Stradivari cut the woods for his violins and we all know how it turned out!
The Botanical Garden of Lucca dedicates classical and non-classical concerts to the trees of the arboretum on summer evenings. "The singing of trees" is a small festival of concerts of various kinds. A "listening path" made up of small events preceded by a short introduction.
