White Night festivals brighten Bolzano and Manfredonia

The Firmian district of Bolzano will host its White Night on Thursday, 6 August. Streets and squares are turned into an open‑air stage with live music from groups such as Cuntacta, Black Moon Trio and Bolzano Massive, a DJ set, dance performances, a choral concert in the Mother Teresa church and a night‑time book market. Shops, bars and restaurants stay open until 22:00, and a temporary Demographic Services desk will allow residents to renew identity cards. The event is part of the municipality’s “Economy of the Night” programme aimed at boosting local commerce and community participation.

A day later, on Friday, 7 August, Manfredonia will hold its own Notte Bianca as part of the Manfredonia Festival 2026. The free, open‑air programme includes live bands, DJ sets, street‑band performances, fire shows, baby‑dance areas, street food stalls priced at €5 and two evening walking tours of the historic centre. The event is promoted by the city’s Assessorate for Economic Development and aims to showcase local culture and cuisine while providing entertainment for all ages.
