Secret Florence 2026

Film festival
Rock, jazz, pop, ethnic music, Modern dance

From June 9 to July 1, Secret Florence, a flagship project of the Estate Fiorentina festival, returns for its eleventh edition.

The project is developed by internationally renowned organizations active in the urban cultural landscape of Florence: Fabbrica Europa, Musicus Concentus, Tempo Reale, Lo schermo dell'arte, and the Virgilio Sieni Dance Production Centre. It is conceived for a series of performance spaces that are largely undiscovered or rarely visited by the public, as well as familiar venues reinterpreted in unexpected ways. Within these settings, dance, music, visual arts, and film performances are uniquely adapted to the architectural and acoustic characteristics of each location.

All events in the program are free of charge.
