Scialacori White Night

A white night in the heart of Floridia

The Scialacori White Night is the event that, for over ten years, has marked the end of the summer season in Floridia, a lively town in the province of Syracuse, Sicily. The name draws from the Sicilian dialect term «scialari», meaning to enjoy life and have unbridled fun: this is precisely the spirit of an evening where the historic center stays vibrant until the early hours. From sunset to dawn, the town's squares and streets become one large open-air stage where music, art, sports, and gastronomy converge.

A program for all ages

The strength of Scialacori lies in its variety: the program is designed to cater to every interest and age group. On multiple stages set up throughout the center, local bands and artists perform, with musical genres ranging from light pop to folk. Alongside the concerts, you will find:

• Roving performances with street artists, performers, and entertainment along the streets;
• Dance shows and sports demonstrations;
• Art installations and exhibitions scattered throughout public spaces and local galleries;
• Dedicated children's areas, with creative workshops, inflatables, and games;
• Food and wine stalls featuring street food, local products, and traditional Sicilian dishes.

A community celebration

Promoted by the Municipality of Floridia with the involvement of the Pro Loco and local associations, the Scialacori White Night is much more than just an entertainment event: it is a moment of identity where the Floridia community gathers in its own streets. Evening shopping at local businesses, local crafts, and a convivial atmosphere complete the evening, as the whole town stays awake to celebrate.

Floridia and the Syracuse area

Located just a few kilometers from Syracuse, Floridia is a gateway to the Iblean hinterland and the wonders of southeastern Sicily, from the Baroque architecture of Noto to the beauties of the provincial capital. The White Night is the ideal opportunity to discover the authentic hospitality of a Sicilian town and experience the energy of a contemporary popular festival.
