The events are concentrated in two spell: from Feb 24 through Feb26; from Mar 3 through Mar 5.
Two gastronomical week-end are worth to experience; the area is famed for genuine and tasty local specialties, and for its natural sceneries (Parco Sibillini in the surroundings)
Unfortunately Norcia is not served by rail; you can get there from Rome traveling by train up to Spoleto station, and then from there with continuing by bus. The same from Perugia: train up to Spoleto and then bus.
