This Month in Florence
There is so much happening throughout the year in Florence, with near constant celebrations and events surrounding its rich history, culture, and traditions.
Spring brings the spectacular Scoppio del Carro ceremony on Easter Sunday, while June features the unique Calcio Storico - a historic revival of medieval-style football played in traditional costume. The Festa della Rificolona in September fills the streets with glowing lantern displays. As the holidays approach, the city is adorned with twinkling lights and Christmas markets, while also remembering the tragic 1966 flood anniversary in early November. The world-famous Pitti Uomo fashion events kick off the new year in January. From religious festivals to sporting spectacles and wine celebrations, Florence provides an array of authentic local experiences for visitors to immerse themselves in the city's vibrant heritage.
