About Notte Verde
The Notte Verde of Pavullo nel Frignano
Notte Verde is one of the most cherished events of the summer in Pavullo nel Frignano, the capital of the Frignano region in the province of Modena (Emilia-Romagna). It is the traditional town white night: for an entire evening, the historic center stays awake and festive, with shops open, market stalls, the aroma of street food, and music spreading from one square to another until the early hours of the morning.
A historic center to be experienced
The heart of the event is Pavullo's urban living room, from Piazza Montecuccoli to the shopping streets of the center. The streets transform into a continuous path of entertainment: stalls of artisans and hobbyists, food and wine stands with the flavors of the Apennines, live musical performances distributed in different parts of the town, and shows designed for both adults and children. Tradition dictates that many participants dress in green, setting the chromatic tone for the entire evening.
What to expect
- Markets along the streets and squares of the center
- Food stalls and street food offerings
- Live music in multiple locations around the town
- Entertainment and activities for children
- Shops open until late evening
- Music and dancing in the square during the final part of the evening
A community celebration
Organized by Pro Loco Pavullo with the support of the Municipality, Notte Verde is part of the rich calendar of summer events that animate Pavullo nel Frignano from June to September. It is an evening designed for all ages, combining local commerce, gastronomy, and fun, confirming Pavullo as a reference point in the Modenese Apennines for those seeking authentic experiences and conviviality. Admission is completely free.
