The Mercantia Festival

Mercantia, the International Festival of Street Theater, takes place in Certaldo, a medieval town between Florence and Siena, every year in July.

They are the more than 100 stage performances every issue, from traditional street theater (jugglers, puppeteers, fire-eaters, storytellers, stilt walkers, mimes, etc. ..) and the puppet theater, art circus, cabaret, dance and poetry from bands orchestras, from contemporary art installations to the realization of handmade creations.

Mercantia is the perfect mix of old and contemporary, that appeals to the young and the less young, Italians but also many foreigners, and who likes to involve everyone from the ladies at the child.
Framing each performance, a unique scene, castles, hidden gardens, towers, small squares and alleys, the medieval village of Certaldo Alto is illuminated by floodlights and torches, fireworks and the skill of the artists.

The spectators every year about 50,000, including those who choose to venture into the town up and soak in the atmosphere of the hottest festivals, and those who decide to stay in the lower part of town, including craft markets and small shows of improvisation.

The Mercantia Festival takes place every year, in July, for five consecutive nights, from 18:00 until late at night.
