The main annual festival in the suburban hamlet of Nave dedicates the second week of May to the Madonna. In the days leading up to this event, the local courtyards and open areas become the scene of vigils and reflective gatherings in the evocative backdrop of community outbuildings typical of the countryside around Lucca. The festival itself takes place on Sunday, with a eucharistic celebration and afternoon performances from musical groups and societies; finally, there is a procession to a recitation of the rosary.
