During the first half of August, the Fiera di u Pane (Bread Fair) is held in Lumio. As a staple food in Corsica as elsewhere, bread is celebrated in a warm and welcoming summer setting. On the programme: farmers and bakers will talk about their passion and demonstrate their know-how, there will be concerts and entertainment for the youngest. It will also be an opportunity to try making bread on site. A moment to enjoy!

On August 15th, to pay homage to the Holy Virgin, in Nonza, but also in many Corsican villages and even in town, the inhabitants have the tradition of lighting their windows and doors with candles. In addition, there is a procession with lanterns behind the statue of the Virgin carried by men through the village before returning to the church of Sainte-Julie de Nonza or elsewhere for the processions of other villages. It is always a magical sight to see the small flickering and moving flames that animate the streets.
