Arezzo hosts an annual medieval festival called the Joust of the Saracens where knights on horseback representing different areas of the town charge at a wooden target attached to a carving of a Saracen king and score points according to accuracy. The whole town gets dressed up in medieval costume and enthusiastically cheers on the competitors. Arezzo is also home to an annual popular music and culture festival, each July, called Arezzo Wave.
