Nottestate - Fashion and Entertainment

Nottestate, the evening show of La Briglia

In La Briglia, a small and industrious village in the municipality of Vaiano in the Bisenzio Valley (Province of Prato, Tuscany), the summer season brings with it Nottestate: an evening show that combines fashion, dance, music, entertainment, and comedy. For one night, the area in front of the Circolo Spola d'Oro becomes an open-air stage, animated by fashion shows, performances, and moments of pure fun.

A rebirth after thirteen years

Nottestate inherits the legacy of Modaestate, the event that defined an era in La Briglia until 2012. After a thirteen-year hiatus, the Circolo Spola d'Oro has relaunched the event with a new formula, serving as a symbol of recovery and community cohesion following the difficulties caused by the floods that affected the area. It is a grassroots event, built by the club's volunteers and local businesses.

What to see

The heart of the evening is the fashion show, featuring garments from local shops and businesses alongside haute couture creations by the artistic director. The clothes are worn by local girls, trained over the preceding months, who become models for a night: a detail that perfectly captures the inclusive and participatory spirit of the event. Alongside fashion, there are musical performances, dance acts, and comic sketches, leading up to a surprise grand finale.

An event for the Bisenzio Valley

Nottestate is much more than a fashion show: it is an opportunity for the community of Vaiano and the entire Bisenzio Valley to gather, support local commerce, and enjoy a summer night together. The intimate setting of La Briglia, with its historic Arci club, gives the evening a genuine, family-friendly atmosphere, far removed from large city events and close to the local people.

Where it takes place

The event is held outdoors, in the space in front of the Circolo Spola d'Oro in La Briglia, a village in Vaiano (Province of Prato). Admission is free.
