SAGRE
Sagra denotes a local fair, usually a celebration of the bounties of the earth-meaning food, as in a preparation or a raw ingredient. The sagra may feature musical bands and perhaps a competition of some sort. Attending a sagra is a way to get a taste of Italian country life. You order food to be cooked by locals with a passion for the local cuisine, then sit at communal tables to eat. Generally sagre are held in summer, in small towns, usually in the main piazza. When you drive through the Amalfi Drive, you'll see colorful posters posted at intersections indicating the sagra di ____, with the dates and times large enough to be read from a passing car. They're in Italian, of course, but they're pretty easy to figure out.

SAINT PATRONAL CELEBRATIONS & VILLAGE FESTIVALS
Attending a festival is a great way to experience Amalfi Coast's culture. Many festivals are based on historic events and often include processions with people dressed in period costume or historic re-enactments. Each town on the Amalfi Coast celebrates its Saint Patron twice a year: one in winter - which generally is called the feast for the people living here - and one during the summer - which is the feast to share with tourists. Saint Patron celebration are usually based on a religious and a civil program: the religious program generally is based on catholic mass, bells playing all day long, and processions. The civil program includes a band, free shows in the main square, classic concerts, and ends with great fireworks, where is possible fired from the sea. Each town has also great gastronomic tradition for the special occasion of the town feast, usually cooked in this day only.
