For information about outdoor activities in western Elba, also contact the Casa del Parco, Fortezza Pisana, Marciana (www.elbapromotion.it). It's also worth consulting private website www.elba.org. Note, too, that all opening hours in Elba are subject to frequent changes from season to season, and year to year.
Festivals & Markets
Elba puts on a wine festival in September or October at Le Ghiaie beach behind Portoferraio. During the July and August high season, every town puts on some sort of small festa; in Marciana Alta, it's an August medieval pageant that robes the locals in costume and fills the streets with artisans offering old-fashioned crafts. Portoferraio's weekly Friday market is held on Viale Zambelli.
