Notte Fuori Nizza
A Tuesday-night summer party out among the wheat fields on the edge of Nizza — street food from eight, a different local winery pouring each week, and a DJ set under the stars from half ten.
Why it's special
It's not in the arcades but out at a cascina on Strada Vecchia di Calamandrana, tables set in the grass with the Barbera hills going gold at sunset. Book dinner (cuoppo of fried fish, buffalo burger, friciule, gnocco fritto) or turn up after 22:30 when the gate's free and Fabry Violino takes the decks. A different Nizza-area winery pours each Tuesday.
Programme · 2026
Every Tuesday at the cascina on Strada Vecchia di Calamandrana: street food and a local winery from 20:00, then a free-entry DJ set from 22:30 with Fabry Violino. The 2026 line-up:
- Dinner is table-only and it sells out, so message +39 349 704 4731 on WhatsApp a few days ahead — or come picnic-style on the lawn and pay per plate.
- After 22:30 entry's free and plenty just show up for the music.
- Bring a layer; the fields cool off once it's dark.
Nizza's summer nights usually mean the free concerts in Piazza del Municipio. This one's different: it's out of town, at a cascina on Strada Vecchia di Calamandrana toward Calamandrana, in a field that catches the last of the light.
Every Tuesday from mid-June the format's the same. From 20:00 it's dinner and street food — Arcano in Tour and La Friciuleria doing cuoppo of fried fish, buffalo burgers (there's a veg one), gnocco fritto, friciule, Sicilian cannoli — with a Nizza-area winery pouring a different label each week and cocktails from the Fine Dining Project bar. Tables are reserved by WhatsApp and go fast; the alternative is to spread out picnic-style on the grass and pay for what you eat. At 22:30 the gate opens for free and it turns into a party, Fabry Violino on the decks, often a themed night — a white party, a pink charity night for Associazione Futura, a sax player, a dance show.
It's a young, local crowd more than a tourist thing, and it's brand new — 2026 was the first summer, running every Tuesday from mid-June to a "final night" with Radio 105 in early September, and then one more encore for good measure. Come hungry, book ahead, and stay for the music. In October the same team took the party into the town centre for Notte in Nizza.
