Bel­lis­si­mo! Is this one of the most lush fes­ti­vals ever? Imag­ine your escape to the beau­ti­ful rolling hills of Tus­cany this sum­mer for an inti­mate fes­ti­val that sees you get­ting involved in pas­ta mak­ing, wine tast­ing, yoga and more, com­bined with a boun­ty of elec­tron­ic sounds.

The event is Flash Fes­ti­val which began in 2017 and has pre­serves its ethos of an inti­mate and com­mu­ni­ty mind­ed get togeth­er. This year it returns to Tus­cany on 13th to 16th May with a strong elec­tron­ic line­up that includes Mr Scruff, Mid­land, Mox­ie, Myd and CC:DISCO!. Set among vine­yards and sun-drenched coun­try­side, Flash is a blend of great music with excep­tion­al food, fine wine and a sense of togeth­er­ness and community.

Days unfold slow­ly: pas­ta-mak­ing with local non­nas, wine tast­ings guid­ed by region­al pro­duc­ers and mas­ter som­me­liers, morn­ing yoga as mist lifts from the vines, and long after­noons of pool­side spritzes. With one care­ful­ly curat­ed stage, no clash­es and no rush, Flash strips fes­ti­val-going back to what mat­ters most.

This event start­ed the way of many of the most com­mu­ni­ty-focused, inde­pen­dent fes­ti­vals. Founder Benedet­ta Venturini’s 30th birth­day cel­e­bra­tion grew organ­i­cal­ly as friends invit­ed friends, evolv­ing into a close-knit inter­na­tion­al gath­er­ing. Atten­dance is inten­tion­al­ly lim­it­ed (to only 1000 peo­ple) so guests arrive as strangers and leave as famiglia. And with no stage clash­es there’s no FOMO, you can just take your time and relax.
