THE BIRDS EXHIBITION in Capannoli

The birds exhibition is an event which takes place in Capannoli on the second Sunday of September.
This year the fifty-third edition of this event, which is considered as the most important in Tuscany, is being held.
The birds exhibition is characterized by the famous singing competition of songbirds from all over Italy.

For the children who live in Capannoli the day of this event is the last day of summer because the day after the event they must go back to school.
During the day of this event it is prohibited to circulate with any form of motor transport and for this reason there is a free shuttle bus that transports people to where the festival begins.
In the streets of the village there are a lot of stalls where we can find clothes, shoes, toys, something for the house and typical food.
In front of the Church there are a lot of animal stalls where we can buy cats, dogs, fishes, birds, hamsters and turtles.
It is a very beautiful event.
