Running from April to October each year, this famous theatre festival, founded in 1953, continues to provide audiences from around the world with rich performances by highly talented artists. In addition to theatre activities, the festival also presents a range of cafés, picnic areas, and festival shops as options for leisurely activities throughout the day.

Accessibility measures are also in place to ensure that all guests – including, but not limited to, those with low vision, hard of hearing, restricted mobility, support people, or service animals – can enjoy the atmosphere and performances.
