Monterey Car Week · Salzburg Festival · Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe · Bayreuth Festival
7 Veranstaltungen
A month page is evergreen: it describes what every August looks like on the international calendar, then lists the dated events of the next August with their status.
01Wo die Saison konzentriert ist
August is the month the season stops moving and simply stays. The Mediterranean coasts and islands — Saint-Tropez, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, the Costa Smeralda, Ibiza, Mallorca, Mykonos — are as full as they will be all year, and almost nothing on the calendar is the reason: the season itself is. The same is true of the Hamptons, Newport and Saratoga in the United States and of the Alpine summer towns, where the Salzburg, Lucerne and Gstaad festivals give the month its music. Europe's cities empty; Paris and Milan are quiet.
The exceptions are worth knowing. Monterey Car Week and the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the middle of the month are the collector-car world's single most important week. The Hampton Classic Horse Show closes the Hamptons summer; Cowes Week fills the Solent in the first half; Siena runs its second Palio on the 16th; the Hublot Polo Gold Cup is played in Gstaad; the Edinburgh festivals fill Scotland's capital all month. The US Open begins in the last days, and the Venice Film Festival opens on the Lido at the very end, the first fixtures of autumn.

04Wichtige Destinationen
The Mediterranean as a whole: Saint-Tropez, Capri, Amalfi, Costa Smeralda, Ibiza, Mallorca, Mykonos. The Hamptons, Newport and Saratoga. Salzburg, Gstaad, Lucerne and St. Moritz for the Alpine summer. Monterey for one week; Edinburgh for the month.
05Geografische Bewegung
Almost none, which is the point. People arrive at the coast or the mountains in late July and leave at the end of August. The single exception is the pull of Monterey Car Week in mid-August, which draws collectors from both continents to California for a week. In the last days of the month the movement resumes: to New York for the US Open and to Venice for the Lido.
06Wetter
Peak heat on the Mediterranean, with sea temperatures at their highest and the mistral and meltemi as the summer's two named winds. The Hamptons and Newport are warm and humid with the hurricane season beginning. Monterey is cool and foggy in the mornings, which is part of its appeal. Alpine towns are the refuge from the heat.
07Die wichtigsten Wochenenden
Pebble Beach weekend in the middle of the month is the only globally significant fixture; the weekend of the second Palio and the Salzburg high season coincides with it. The last weekend, with the US Open under way and Venice opening, is the turn of the season.
