Firenze Gelato Festival

Gelato Gelato Gelato everywhere!  A dream of mine is to be among every type of gelato.  My dream has come true.  This is the first gelato festival in Florence.  It will be spread among many of the main piazze around town.  They are expecting 300,000 visitors for this hope-to-be annual festival in the future.  People will be able to participate in workshops on how gelato is made, visit an exhibit on the origin, and plus there will be many games and activities for the kiddies.

Entrance is completely free, plus there are taste cards you can purchase online or at the Info points in Piazza SS Annunziata and Piazza S Giovanni di Firenze during the festival or at the bookshop at the tourist office in Piazza della Stazione 4 from 25th – 31st May, 10.00 – 14.00.  The cards can also be purchased at ice cream shops participating in the festival.  You can collect your online purchased card at the Info points by presenting your email confirmation and an ID document.  One taste card costs €1.  A five taste card costs €5.
