Flo Fest is a community-powered celebration in the heart of Florence, Massachusetts. Emerging from the spirit of togetherness, Flo Fest brings neighbors, families, artists, and local businesses together to celebrate what makes the Silk City thrive: creativity, connection, and collaboration!

Coming September 19th, 2026 at the heart of Florence, Flo Fest activates Main Street into a vibrant, walkable festival filled with live music, interactive art, activities for all ages, and the best of our local food, drink, and small businesses. From your favorite restaurant to local bands, your neighboring artist to your frequented coffee shop, Flo Fest celebrates the vibrancy of our unique community.

Inspired and guided by the legacy of Florence Night Out (FNO), and powered by volunteers and local love, Flo Fest is more than just a festival…it’s a celebration of Florence!

Flo Fest was founded by Florence resident Chloe Torri, with the wisdom and advice of FNO’s founder, Donnabelle Casis. Flo Fest is solely ran on the love and generosity of community volunteers.

Our goal of $25K is based on the actual figures from our predecessor, Florence Night Out, accompanied by quotes from local businesses with which we will partner for our 2026 event. We are already engaging past supporters and new partners to help meet this goal and see the festival revived! Please see our budget breakdown below:
