Notte Bianca

Ventimiglia's Big Evening Celebration

The Notte Bianca is the event that kicks off summer in Ventimiglia, in the province of Imperia. For one evening, the city centre transforms into a large, widespread stage, with shops open until late, live music, DJ sets, and shows taking place in streets and squares.

2026 Medieval-Themed Edition

For 2026, the municipal administration has chosen to organise the event directly, following the positive experience of previous editions. The chosen theme is the Middle Ages, in an ideal connection with the Medieval August, the city's historic re-enactment: participants are invited to wear costumes and create historical settings, to give the evening a recognisable identity.

What to Expect

The programme includes the evening opening of commercial activities, musical entertainment with bands and DJ sets, various shows, themed markets, and initiatives dedicated to children and families. The city centre merchants are actively involved, with the support of trade associations, to make the Notte Bianca a celebration for the entire city.

Ventimiglia in Summer

The last Italian city before the French border, Ventimiglia experiences an intense season of events in the summer. The Notte Bianca is one of the most popular moments, capable of attracting residents, tourists, and visitors from the nearby French Riviera for an evening of music and fun in the heart of western Liguria.
