Mezzestate Festival

The 51st Mezzestate Festival took place in Cutigliano from August 20 to 24, 2025, from Wednesday to Sunday, enlivening the Pistoia Mountain village with five days of festivities blending tradition, taste, and entertainment.

In Piazzale Sant'Antonio, the 45 garage units were transformed into stalls ranging from crafts to typical products, and from tourism to the promotion of the Pistoia mountain region's excellence. Among the most appreciated moments was the medieval parade at 5:00 PM, featuring the drummers of the Cutigliano historical group, the flag-wavers and musicians of Gallicano, and the Domenico Achilli musical and cultural association of Gavinana.

There was no shortage of dance evenings, workshops for children, and literary cafés, while the food stalls offered local specialties, above all necci. The event, with free admission, was held during the days of the celebrations for Saint Bartholomew, the town's patron saint.
