Nox Alba Festival

On 13 June 2026, Castell’Arquato will come alive with the Nox Alba Festival, the new incarnation of the village’s historic ‘white night’, set to transform the town centre into one huge celebration of music, shows and entertainment.

For one night, the areas at the foot of the medieval village — between Piazza San Carlo, Via Roma and Via Dante — will become a lively open-air stage where visitors can enjoy a summer atmosphere, conviviality and fun for all ages.

The event programme will feature live music, DJ sets, dance performances, cocktail bars, street food and markets, creating a journey through flavours, sounds and entertainment in the heart of one of Emilia-Romagna’s most picturesque villages.

Organised by the Pro Loco of Castell’Arquato in collaboration with local associations and businesses, the Nox Alba Festival was created with the aim of promoting the village through an evening that engages residents and visitors alike in a dynamic and contemporary atmosphere.

Amidst lights, music and medieval vistas, the festival offers a special opportunity to experience Castell’Arquato in a different light, combining summer energy with historic charm.
