The Flowers Festival is held every year between June and July at the Parco della Certosa di Collegno, just 15 minutes by metro from Torino Porta Nuova (Fermi stop). It is one of the most beloved music festivals in Piedmont, with an eclectic mix of genres in a green setting.
Founded in 2014, the festival has built its reputation on a line-up that mixes indie rock, songwriting, electronica, hip hop and world music. The bill features both leading names from the Italian scene and emerging international artists, creating a curious, cross-genre atmosphere.
The location is an integral part of the experience. The Parco della Certosa is a historic green area with centuries-old trees, lawns and open spaces that create an intimate, relaxed atmosphere far from the chaos of larger festivals. Two stages — a main one and an acoustic one — host concerts from late morning until night.
Beyond the music, the Flowers Festival offers food areas with local cuisine and street food, craft markets, kids' spaces and chill-out zones. A focus on environmental sustainability is a hallmark: reusable cups, recycling and partnerships with local producers.
Tickets are affordably priced and many evenings are free. You can easily combine a day exploring Torino — perhaps a sweet tour through chocolate and Bicerin — with an evening concert at Flowers.
