Across Europe, September brings communities together for traditional autumn celebrations. Italy, Austria, Germany, France and Spain host local harvest, wine and food festivals, while towns across Central and Southern Europe organise folk music and cultural events.
One example this week is the Durres Fest in Albania, an international folk, choir and modern festival running from September 21–25, 2026. Other folk and cultural festivals are also taking place in Spain, Croatia, Greece and Türkiye.
Europe’s autumn festival season is turning villages and cities into lively meeting points for local traditions, food, music and cultural celebrations.
