Romanza Festivale 2024 Events

Here you will find all Romanza Festivale events for 2024.

Every year in late spring, the Romanza Festivale of Music and Arts presents two weeks of programs at several locations. The events celebrate St. Augustine’s culture, history, and talented citizens—musicians, artists, chefs, dancers, actors, storytellers, vintners, brewers, and writers. This is a list of all Romanza Festival events for this year.
Most of the events created for Romanza are free. One or two Romanza Events will be a paid concert featuring a special out-of-town performer. Others are ticketed events, presented by local creative groups, and sponsored, in part, by Romanza Festivale. Sponsors for Romanza include Florida Arts and Culture, St. Johns Cultural Council, St. Johns County Tourist Development Council, and the hugely popular St. Augustine Celtic Music and Heritage Festival.
