The Florentine at U.S.A. Street Fair

Imagine not having to wait years to learn how to navigate living in Florence.

Imagine meeting many, many fellow-English speakers in a couple of hours – ones who can help enrich your life, in ways large & small.

Wouldn’t that be nice?  Well, look no further!

The US Consulate is hosting a Street Fair on the afternoon of September 15.

This ‘orientation’ will highlight, for newcomers, students & old-timers alike, the broad range of services available to English-speaking expats.  Come and learn about the wealth of opportunities available right here in greater Florence to participate in cultural, social, charitable, educational, religious & other communities.  Not to mention fundamental ‘survival’ tips.  Besides offering all sorts of useful & valuable information, it’s also a party: we’ll have music, food, & fun, too – also for kids.

This block party is a fantastic opportunity to see familiar faces, meet new friends and find a few hidden resources.
