Sagra dei circoli Arci

The Sagra dei Circoli Arci returns to Florence, a well-established event celebrating community spirit and solidarity within the associative world. Now in its eighth edition, this festival offers a unique opportunity to discover authentic flavors prepared by the cooks of local Arci circles in an informal, welcoming, and genuinely convivial atmosphere. From July 1st to 5th, the gardens of the SMS Rifredi circle (via Fabio Filzi, Florence) will transform into a lively meeting place where community, culture, and gastronomy intertwine in an unforgettable experience. Each evening, from 7:30 PM until midnight, you can enjoy ever-changing menus ranging from meat to vegetarian dishes, ensuring everyone finds an option suited to their tastes. No reservation is necessary: entry is free on a first-come, first-served basis, making this festival particularly inclusive and accessible to all. Prices range from 12 to 16 euros per person depending on the menu chosen and the evening, offering varied and affordable options. Dishes change nightly: from tagliatelle with ragù to Tuscan braised meats, from mixed grills to refined vegetarian dishes, and homemade desserts. Each menu includes a first course, second course, side dish, and bread, prepared with dedication by Arci circle volunteers. But the Sagra dei Circoli Arci is much more than a simple culinary event. Nestled within the context of Stella Rossa – The Arci Festival of Florence – the event is enriched with live music evenings, DJ sets, and numerous cultural events that create a complete and engaging experience. Each evening features different performances: folk music, jazz, electronic music, and family entertainment. Parking is available nearby (SMS parking 50 meters away). A perfect opportunity to experience the associative and participatory spirit that characterizes the Arci movement, enjoying great food and good company.
