Late-summer highlights
August tends to continue the peak outdoor season with festivals and city breaks, though some venues slow down as locals take their own summer holidays.
- Catch the last of the season's open-air festivals and food markets
- Look for late-summer concerts and outdoor film screenings
- Some smaller venues run a lighter schedule mid-month — worth checking listings ahead
