Sere d'Estate

Sere d'Estate, the warm heart of the Seano summer

When summer arrives in Seano—a village in the municipality of Carmignano, in the green province of Prato, Tuscany—the Pista Rossa lights up with color, aromas, and music. This is where the Sere d'Estate come to life, a local festival organized by the Associazione Festa Santissimo Crocifisso di Seano under the patronage of the Municipality of Carmignano. A young but already beloved event, born in 2024 and growing every year, it succeeds in bringing entire families together under the stars.

Three nights of conviviality under the stars

The format follows the genuine, tried-and-tested tradition of Tuscan festivals: every evening, starting at 7:00 PM, the food stalls managed by the association's volunteers open, offering homemade dishes at popular prices. The atmosphere is lively, thanks to inflatables and a quad track for children, craft stalls—including the "Io Creo" creative space with handmade goods—and an evening entertainment program ranging from live music to dance.

Previous editions have featured musical groups, roaming street bands, pop-dance DJ sets, performances by local dance schools, and even fashion shows by local merchants: every evening offers something different, always with free admission.

A festival with a purpose

The Sere d'Estate are not just about entertainment. The event has a dual goal: to enliven the social life of the village through initiatives designed for all ages, and to raise funds for the Festa Grossa, the solemn celebration of the Santissimo Crocifisso, which occurs in Seano every five years and represents the heart of the town's religious and popular tradition.

Seano, between Carmignano and the Prato countryside

Seano is one of the most populous villages in Carmignano, a land of hills, olive groves, and vineyards where the famous Carmignano DOCG wine is produced. Attending the Sere d'Estate is also a chance to discover an authentic corner of Tuscany, far from the main tourist circuits, where the community gathers with simplicity and warmth. It is the perfect occasion for those seeking the true atmosphere of a local festival, made of good food, music, and social connection.
