Music, arts & food · Category overview
Ten festivals and fairs across film, architecture, design, performance and food, in seven cities. Eight have 2027 dates published by their own organiser; Venice's film festival has published only the month, Toronto's 2027 dates are not yet confirmed on its own site, and the Alba truffle fair has not announced 2027 at all. Access models differ sharply — accreditation at Cannes, free entry at Oktoberfest, a show-by-show ticket at the Fringe.

Alba, Italy
The Alba White Truffle Fair has not published 2027 dates; the 2026 fair ran from 10 October to 6 December, and the truffle season itself is weather-dependent. One industry calendar lists an October–December 2027 window, which the fair's own site does not yet confirm.

Cannes, France
The 80th Festival de Cannes is published for 11–22 May 2027 on the Croisette. Access is the constraint: the festival runs on accreditation and invitations, and the public-ticket guidance on its own site still describes the 2026 edition.

Venice Lido, Italy
La Biennale has confirmed the 84th Venice International Film Festival for September 2027 on the Lido, without publishing exact days on its own site. Secondary listings disagree on the closing date, so the month is the only safe planning anchor.

Read the visitor guide →02 · Planning notes
Publication status is the first thing to check: an announceable date is not the same as an open ticket sale, and a film festival's public access often depends on accreditation rather than a box office. Milan Design Week is two parallel programmes — the trade fair at Fiera Milano Rho and the city-wide Fuorisalone — with no combined ticket. Where a 2027 sale is not open, the guide says so rather than quoting last year's price.
Use the organiser’s current access, ticket, transport and accessibility instructions. A recurring host or typical month is not confirmation of next year’s programme or exact site layout.
