Perugia is also and foremost a dynamic and lively city, where all sorts of events – especially musical and culinary – happen every day. The internationally famous Umbria Jazz, is one of the most prestigious music festivals in Italy and it takes place throughout the whole city in the middle of July. Walking the streets of Perugia in October is even sweeter, thanks to the EuroChocolate fest that colours the city centre with spectacles, stands, and exhibitions of various flavours, provided that they are chocolate of course. Many free concerts are regularly held in Piazza IV Novembre. Seasonal open air markets often sprout all over town, the most famous of all being the Christmas Market of Rocca Paolina. There are also numerous theatres providing a very rich and divers offer of plays and shows.
