Bella Vista Social Fest

A festival blending music and territory in Valdinievole

The Bella Vista Social Fest is a widespread event held in Buggiano, an ancient village in the Valdinievole area of the Pistoia province, in Tuscany. Born in 2017 from a passion for music and the work of the Cooperativa Sociale Selva, the festival has grown edition after edition to become one of the most anticipated early summer events in the Pistoia region, appealing to both young audiences and families.

Four souls: concerts, sports, walks, and flavors

What makes the Bella Vista Social Fest special is its hybrid nature. It is not just a concert lineup, but a genuine project to promote the hilly landscape of Valdinievole. The musical heart, hosted at Parco OX - Centro Giovani, features bands and songwriters from the new Italian indie and pop scene every evening, with live concerts followed by DJ sets.

• Live Music: emerging artists and established names from the Italian indie and songwriting scene, always with free admission.
• Sgranar per Colli: a food and wine walking tour through the hills, with delicious stops dedicated to traditional dishes and musical entertainment along the way.
• Run per Colli and Bike per Colli: sports initiatives for running and cycling that traverse the hilly landscape around Buggiano.
• DJ sets and festive moments, including the famous themed closing event.

A social and community event

Promoted by the Cooperativa Sociale Selva, the festival has a strong social and participatory vocation: the goal is to build community around music, sports, and the slow rediscovery of the hills. The event is sponsored by the Municipality of Buggiano and the Tuscany Region, with the support of the Fondazione Caript and the artistic collaboration of La Limonaia di Fucecchio.

Why it is worth visiting

The Bella Vista Social Fest is the ideal opportunity to discover an authentic corner of Tuscany far from the major tourist circuits. Between a concert and a walk, a glass of local wine and a DJ set under the stars, it is an invitation to experience Valdinievole at a slow pace, focusing on music, the environment, and conviviality. Free admission to all concerts makes it an accessible and deeply popular event.
