Notte dei Saldi

A city celebrating for one night

The Notte dei Saldi is one of the most anticipated events of the Trieste summer. Promoted by the Municipality of Trieste as part of the summer events plan, it marks the start of the summer sales by transforming the city center into an open-air stage, with shops open until late at night and the main streets pedestrianized for the occasion.

Between Corso Italia and via Mazzini

For one evening, Corso Italia, via Mazzini, and the other shopping streets in the center are closed to traffic, from mid-afternoon until late at night. The space freed from cars fills with people, illuminated shop windows, and scattered performances: street artists, tango performances, acrobatic acts, flash mobs, live music, and DJ sets liven up every corner.

Shopping and entertainment

The event combines commerce, social life, and tourism: it's an opportunity to take advantage of the first sales offers while strolling through a pedestrianized and festive city center, amidst concerts, dance, and itinerant entertainment. A format that the Municipality has relaunched with dedicated investment in major summer events, to enhance city commerce and Trieste's appeal.

The spirit of the Julian summer

Overlooking the sea and full of historic cafes, Trieste experiences the Notte dei Saldi as a collective ritual: an evening when residents and visitors rediscover the pleasure of experiencing the city on foot, amidst lights, music, and the warm air of the Adriatic summer.
