First Edition
Music, sports, outdoor activities, talks, exhibitions, and workshops, all with free admission. San Godenzo, and its surrounding areas will become the enchanting setting for a series of events that will enliven the streets, woods, and ridges of the Montagna Fiorentina, inviting the public to reflect on themes such as the connection between people and nature and the resilience of urban-rural living.
A festival born from the needs of the territory that hosts it, opening up to external contributions to create new networks of relationships, skills, and a renewed sense of community. A community that can't wait to make its visitors feel like part of it.
From July 15 to 21 in San Godenzo, the first edition of the Montagna Fiorentina Festival arrives: music, outdoor activities, exhibitions, trekking and excursions, and local food. A unique and free festival, with innovative services such as free coworking spaces and locations for free camping, allowing visitors to experience the Montagna Fiorentina as true temporary residents.
During the week in San Godenzo and its surrounding areas, there will be many unmissable events focused on sports and outdoor emotions. You can explore the mountain through trekking experiences or mountain biking, listen to expert athletes share their adventures in talks and debates, discover the secrets and beauties of the territory through guided walks in the villages and nature excursions, or follow art trails to discover works and installations.
