Are you among the lucky ones who will spend the summer in Corsica? Well, the island of beauty has so much to offer in addition to beaches and nature. Among sport, culture, music, entertainment and tasting of typical products, these are the seven unmissable events scheduled in August 2019.

1. Les jeudis polyphoniques de Bonifacio

On every Thursdays of August (to be precise, from April 4^th to October 31^st), the church of San Domenico in Bonifacio will resound with Corsican magic: the famous Corsican polyphonic songs.

2. Les legendines

4. Porto latino

Still great music, this time from August 3^rd to 6^th and performed by artists that don’t even need any introduction, such as Morcheeba: all this is Porto Latino, in Saint-Florent.
