Carabattole Love Park

A full summer of events in Agliana

Carabattole Love Park has become one of the most anticipated summer highlights in the municipality of Agliana, in the Province of Pistoia, and across the Tuscan plain connecting Pistoia, Prato, and Florence. For about three months, the permanent arena set up at Parco di Carabattole, along Via Giorgio La Pira, becomes the beating heart of local nightlife: a large open-air space featuring concerts, shows, film screenings, cultural talks, and moments of pure conviviality, all with free admission.

Around 90 events for all ages

The program features about 90 events designed to engage diverse audiences: families with children, young people, music lovers, and culture enthusiasts. The schedule ranges from live concerts to cabaret nights, dance performances to DJ sets, and food festivals to cultural deep-dives. The core philosophy of the event is to provide the community with a welcoming and sustainable meeting place where people can enjoy summer evenings without economic barriers.

Music takes center stage

The musical program spans genres and generations. The Carabattole stage hosts iconic Italian singer-songwriters and pop artists such as Nada, Marina Rei, Ginevra Di Marco, Johnson Righeira, and Ivan Cattaneo, alongside legendary bands like Le Orme, the ska and soul sounds of The Bluebeaters, and nights dedicated to tribute bands and high-energy formats like Killer Queen, 80 Voglia, and Banana Split.

Comedy and Tuscan cabaret

Laughter is a key ingredient, with the most beloved faces of the Tuscan comedy scene—Alessandro Paci, Graziano Salvadori, Andrea Agresti, and Tony Corallo—bringing the wit and spontaneity that have always defined these local summer nights to the stage.

Culturalia and street food

Alongside the music, the festival hosts Culturalia, a section dedicated to culture, journalism, entertainment, sports, and outreach, featuring talks and guests in a well-established format. Food is also a major attraction: the Street Food Festival offers evenings featuring international cuisine, regional specialties, vegetarian dishes, and gluten-free/lactose-free options, while food and drink stands remain active throughout the entire duration of the event.

A festival born from the community

Carabattole Love Park is organized by the Municipality of Agliana in collaboration with the L'Artigiano Cultural Association, under the artistic direction of Luca Nesti. It is a grassroots event that has grown from within the local industrial area to become a landmark of summer in the Province of Pistoia and throughout central Tuscany.
