The white night that inaugurates the season after the holidays
At the beginning of September, the historic center of Thiene (province of Vicenza) transforms for the Festa del Buon Rientro, the great white night that symbolically inaugurates the new social and working season after the summer holidays. Born in 2000, it was the first "white night" experiment in the Vicenza area.
For one evening, Via Roma and the central squares are filled with live music โ from jazz to rock, blues to pop โ played in front of bars and in the squares, alongside dance performances, street food offerings, and traditional cuisine dishes. Shops remain open for evening shopping, in a festive atmosphere that attracts thousands of people.
The festival is promoted and organized by Confcommercio Thiene, with the patronage and collaboration of the Municipality, the Pro Loco, and the local tourist office. More than just a commercial event, the Buon Rientro has become an identity-defining appointment for Thiene, capable of enhancing the entire city system and attracting visitors from all over the Alto Vicentino region.
For 2026, the Festa del Buon Rientro reaches its 26th edition. The white night traditionally takes place on the first Friday of September, from evening until late at night, animating Via Roma and the squares of Thiene's center.
The program includes, as every year, live music of various genres, DJ sets, dance performances, street food, and evening shopping. The precise date and the complete lineup for the 2026 edition will be communicated by Confcommercio Thiene in the weeks preceding the event.
The detailed program and the exact date for the 2026 edition will be announced by Confcommercio Thiene.
