Nemi Events

Nemi's calendar has one date that matters more than all the others.

The first Sunday of June brings the strawberry sagra, the festival the town is known for and the busiest day of its year.

Spring generally is strawberry season on the crater slopes, and the best time to be here.

Summer weekends bring the Castelli Romani day-trip crowd up from Rome, 30 kilometres away.

Autumn is the quiet season for walking the crater rim with clear views down to the water.

Winter is cold at 521 metres and the village returns to its 1,829 residents.

Checking what is actually on. Regione Lazio publishes a region-wide events calendar on its VisitLazio portal, listing festivals, sagre and historical re-enactments by comune and by date. Local feast days move with the liturgical calendar and small-town programmes are often fixed only weeks ahead, so confirm there rather than relying on last year's dates.
