Florence is ready for its upcoming "Notte Bianca" - or "white night" - on April 30, during which the city stays awake all night offering concerts, shows, installations, performances, and exhibitions for free.  There will be events for everyone.  

The city's amazing museums will stay open until the wee hours of the morning, with guided tours available for free.  There will be live music at various places, including Piazza della Signoria, Piazza Strozzi, Piazza della Calza, and Piazza della Passera - not to mention an itinerant street band show.  

There will also be dance performances, capoeira, and acrobatic shows, all built around the central theme of this year's white night, which is 'volare' or "to fly," as well as art installations (at Ponte vecchio, Piazza Strozzi and Via de Tornabuoni), photography exhibitions, video art, and more.  And don't worry if you have kids, because there is a whole program dedicated to the little ones!

This will be a great night out not to be missed!
