Notti Folk di San Lorenzo a Varigotti

San Lorenzo in Varigotti

The Notti Folk di San Lorenzo are the patronal festival of Varigotti, a hamlet of Finale Ligure in the province of Savona, celebrated on the occasion of San Lorenzo. The village, known as the Saracen village for its characteristic colourful houses overlooking the sea, experiences one of its most evocative moments on this night.

Folk dances and spirituality

The festival blends different aspects: the Occitan folk dances that liven up the squares and the beach, the evening spiritual procession dedicated to the patron saint, and the climax of the Luci di San Lorenzo, the fireworks display synchronized with Hans Zimmer's music that lights up the sky above the sea.

The Saracen village

Varigotti is one of the most photographed places on the Riviera di Ponente, with its bay, pastel-coloured houses, and beach framed by the promontory. During the Notti Folk, the village transforms into a natural stage where music, dance, and fireworks interact with the landscape.

Between faith and celebration

The Notti Folk di San Lorenzo tell the story of Varigotti's identity, combining devotion to the patron saint with a love for popular celebration. For those holidaying in Finale Ligure and on the Savona coast, it's an opportunity to experience an unforgettable evening in one of Liguria's most beautiful villages.
