Notte Bianca — Borgo Santa Caterina

The Borgo Santa Caterina in celebration

Borgo Santa Caterina is one of Bergamo's most beloved historic villages, with its long street of shops, boutiques, and eateries. During the summer season, the Borgo Merchants Association, in collaboration with the Urban Commerce District (DUC), transforms the pedestrianised street into a large festive space with a series of themed White Nights, from May to September.

The vintage car evening

The opening event, Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, from 4 PM to midnight, is dedicated to vintage cars: around 60 vehicles, in collaboration with Vintage Pitstop, will be displayed along the village street. The cars arrive in the afternoon and remain on display while the shops are open for shopping; from 9 PM to midnight, the White Night continues with live music and DJ sets. There are also activities for children and families, including a pedal go-kart track and outdoor games.

Themed evenings

The White Nights of the Borgo are organised into several events, each with a different theme. Among these is the Dance evening (Saturday, June 13th), featuring hip hop, pole dance, country, zumba, and Latin dance schools performing at strategic points along the street, along with other events dedicated to culture and flowers throughout the summer. Each evening livens up the village from 4 PM to midnight.

A neighbourhood festival

The White Nights of Borgo Santa Caterina are free neighbourhood festivals, designed for residents, merchants, and visitors. It's a way to experience one of Bergamo's most authentic corners, in the heart of Lombardy, enjoying shopping, music, flavours, and socialising, rediscovering the community spirit of the village.
