Urban Food Festival Empoli

The Urban Food Festival Empoli is set to captivate visitors from May 7-10, 2026, transforming the Empoli Shopping Center into an epicenter of gastronomic innovation and contemporary flavors. This event represents a unique opportunity to discover the latest trends in urban food culture, where emerging chefs and established culinary names come together to offer avant-garde dining experiences. A festival celebrating the fusion of Tuscan tradition and modernity, with a special focus on creative cross-pollination and zero-kilometer ingredients reinterpreted in an urban key.

The festival program spans from street food experiences to masterclasses with industry professionals, from themed tastings to interactive formats that directly engage the audience. This year we will host nationally renowned chefs such as Marco Stabile, Giuliana Bendinelli, and the collective The Street Food Lab, who will bring their innovative visions to the heart of Empoli. Among the main activities: gourmet food truck showcases, live cooking shows, sensory workshops, and dedicated areas celebrating Tuscan excellence reimagined for modern palates.
