Verona Events

Changed

The Arena di Verona Opera Festival (June-September) is the city's defining annual event -- open-air opera and ballet performances in the Roman amphitheater, running most years since 1913, with a mix of classic productions (Aida is a recurring staple) and newer stagings.

Vinitaly, held each spring at the Verona exhibition center, is one of the world's largest wine trade fairs, drawing an international trade and industry crowd rather than casual visitors -- it fills hotels citywide during its run.

Verona's Christmas market, in Piazza dei Signori and the surrounding streets through December, is smaller and more local in character than Venice's or Milan's equivalents, alongside an ice rink typically set up in Piazza Bra.
