Notte Bianca

The Notte Bianca or "White Night" in Florence takes place on the evening of April 30th every year. The streets flow with people making rounds between food stalls, exhibitions, art installations, museums, dj sets, and live music and dance performances scattered throughout the center of Florence.


This information is out of date! The Notte Bianca was cancelled during the COVID 19 epidemic. As far as we can tell, the event has yet to be restarted. We are leaving this page up in the hopes that the event returns - it was truly a magical night for Florence, Florentines, and tourists. Annual update: searching the web and other sources, there is no evidence that this event is taking place in 2026. It was a truly magical night in Florence and of the things we looked forward to the most of all the annual events. This is a real cultural loss and with the way things have changed over the last years I can't see how it ever comes back!

Events for kids usually start as early as 14.00 and street events commence towards 19.00, but the energy of the city escalates after midnight and continues into the early morning. A selection of museums and palazzi have extended hours, and many shops and restaurants stay open until nearly dawn. Basically it is a giant street party, with a relaxed, care-free vibe.
