La Faradda de li Candereri

A big summer festival, held every 14 August. Teams wearing medieval costumes and representing various 16th-century guilds bear nine wooden columns (the "candlesticks") through town. The celebrations have their origins in 13th-century Pisan worship of the Madonna of the Assumption.
