3 Castles Festival

Montecatini Val di Cecina and its hamlets come to life through the “3 Castles Festival,” an encounter of theatre, music, dance, and artistic installations that connects villages, squares, and landscapes into one shared experience. Montecatini Val di Cecina, La Sassa, Querceto, and Ponteginori become part of an open-air stage, where culture becomes connection, participation, and collective beauty.
