About Notte Bianca di Caldiero

On the third Saturday of July, Caldiero, in the province of Verona, stays awake until dawn for its Notte Bianca di Mezza Estate (Midsummer White Night). From Piazza Marcolungo in the town centre to the historic Giunone Baths, the evening blends food and wine stalls, dancing, street artists, free games for children, and the unmissable midnight watermelon feast, concluding with a night swim in the pool to the rhythm of a DJ set. A popular and beloved summer festival, organised by Pro Loco Caldiero.

A night that never ends

The Notte Bianca di Mezza Estate is one of the most cherished summer events in Caldiero, a town in the Bassa Veronese region famous for its ancient thermal waters. Organised by Pro Loco Caldiero with the Municipality and various local associations, it is traditionally held on the third Saturday of July and in 2025 reached its twentieth edition.

From the centre to the Giunone Baths

The festival enlivens Piazza Marcolungo and other town spaces: food and wine stalls by Pro Loco, an area dedicated to children with free inflatable games, dancing on a steel floor, live music, and street artists performing until late at night. At midnight, the most anticipated moment arrives, the watermelon feast offered by Pro Loco. The grand finale is the night swim at the Giunone Baths, with a DJ set and open bar until the early hours of the morning.

A festival for the whole community

Intergenerational and free in its main attractions, the Notte Bianca fills the streets of Caldiero with music, flavours, and fun. Over the years, it has become a classic of the Veronese summer, capable of attracting visitors from neighbouring towns in the province of Verona.
