Fèŝta de ra Bàndes

The Fèŝta de ra Bàndes (festival of the bands) takes place in the last weeks of August.

The celebrations involve more than 25 bands and folk groups from Italy and abroad, which through concerts, parades, exhibitions, and popular traditions create a whole week filled with music. Amid the notes of one band after another, you'll see volunteers, memories of how life used to be, local culture, fun, the hard work of the mountains, old and new sports, and many other activities.

The most anticipated moment of the festival remains the grand folkloric parade along Corso Italia: a genuine leap into the past featuring more than 20 international bands, local associations and groups, traditional signs, typical floats, and costumes passed down from generation to generation, worn by the members of the groups.
The festival continues with a series of concerts and shows in the central squares, and at the conclusion of the event, there will be a final march by the Musical Corps of Cortina
