Castelfalfi Spring Festival

Spring blooms in Castelfalfi

The Castelfalfi Spring Festival is the event that welcomes spring in the charming medieval village of Castelfalfi, a hamlet of the municipality of Montaione, in the province of Florence. For an entire weekend in March, the streets, squares, and corners of the village fill with flowers, colors, art installations, and scents, offering visitors an immersive experience of nature, taste, and creativity in the heart of Tuscany.

A village in the Valdelsa hills

Castelfalfi is one of the most fascinating villages in the Florentine territory: perched on a hill surrounded by woods, vineyards, and olive groves, it preserves its medieval soul made of stone, panoramic views, and silence. This setting makes the festival a perfect opportunity to discover (or rediscover) an authentic corner of the hills between the Valdelsa and the upper Valdera, far from the beaten paths of Tuscan tourism.

What to expect during the festival

The program is designed to offer something for every type of visitor, from families with children to lovers of crafts and good food:

• Local craft markets: among the alleys, artists and artisans display their unique creations, from handmade goods to small local productions.
• Gourmet street food: gastronomic stations with specialties and local products, to taste the flavors of the Tuscan spring.
• Live music and DJ sets: concerts, roving street bands that animate the village streets, and DJ sets that accompany the day with contemporary sounds.
• Activities for children and families: themed workshops, roving shows, and entertainment dedicated to the little ones, to experience the festival all together.

An event with a heart for charity

The festival combines fun with a dimension of solidarity: in recent editions, the Anna Meyer Pediatric Hospital Foundation has been present with a stand where visitors can make free donations to support projects dedicated to the children of the Florentine pediatric hospital.
