During the festive season Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, turns into an enchanted stage, whereart, history and tradition intertwine with music, creativity and fun. Florence at its festive best. The lights that illuminate the Renaissance palaces, the decorations that adorn the streets of the centre and the crisp winter air give the city a timeless charm. It is in this evocative scenario that Florence offers a series of not-to-be-missed events for adults and children alike.
Stalls selling home decor and much more
One event celebrating creativity is the The Creative Factory in Piazza dei Ciompi which features local craftsmanship and contemporary design, with a selection of original creations: home decor, jewellery, and sustainable gifts that make ideal gifts. Alongside the market, Inside Factory - Christmas Edition highlights emerging designers and limited-edition products, while creative workshops allow visitors to get involved and experiment first-hand.
Concerts from jazz to gospel
On the outskirts of the city in Sesto Fiorentino, local bands enliven the centre with touring concerts, and in Montepulciano workshops and creative activities offer moments of joy and wonder to be shared. The festive itinerary ends with the Florentine New Year's Eve, which this year features five squares, each dedicated to a different musical genre. From gospel to jazz, from orchestral music to more contemporary sounds, Florence will greet the New Year with concerts and live performances.
