Settembre Lucchese: A Month of Traditions and Festivals in the Heart of Lucca

Settembre Lucchese is one of the most cherished and anticipated events in the city of Lucca, an entire month dedicated to tradition, culture, and faith. During this period, the city comes alive with a series of religious manifestations, historical parades, cultural events, and markets that celebrate the deep-rooted heritage of the Lucchese territory.

At the center of the celebrations is the Santa Croce, a solemn procession held on September 13 in honor of the Volto Santo, a relic venerated in the Cathedral of San Martino. During this evocative night procession, the city is illuminated by thousands of lights, creating a magical atmosphere, with participants dressed in historical costumes walking through the streets of Lucca, carrying candles and paying tribute to this ancient religious tradition.

However, Settembre Lucchese is not just about spirituality. The streets of the historic center fill with markets, fairs, and concerts, providing a perfect opportunity to discover local craftsmanship, typical products, and the vibrant city life. Among the most awaited events is the Fiera di San Michele, a grand festival that takes place at the end of the month, celebrating the patron saint of Lucca.
