Summer for the Little Ones 2026
Summer in Amalfi is also great for kids. With “Estate dei Piccoli 2026,” the City of Amalfi is offering a packed schedule of free events for children and their families, transforming squares, beaches, parks, and villages into places for gathering, creativity, and fun.
A program designed to offer shared experiences, where play becomes an opportunity for discovery, theater sparks the imagination, creative workshops highlight the local area, and every event invites children and parents to share moments of growth, laughter, and carefree fun.
Sponsored by the City Administration led by Mayor Daniele Milano, the initiative stems from a collaboration between Enza Cobalto, Councilor for Culture and Events, and Francesca Gargano, Councilor for Children’s Affairs, with the goal of fostering an appreciation for beauty through art, culture, and play, while introducing younger generations to Amalfi’s history and identity.
Check out the full calendar of events and let yourself be inspired by a summer filled with smiles, imagination, and memorable moments to share together.
