About Art Affori

Art Affori is the big neighborhood festival that for one day transforms Affori, in Milan's Municipality 9, into a widespread open-air stage. Streets, squares, shops, small parks, and the splendid Villa Litta come alive with art, games, and music: itinerant magic and juggling shows, a circus school for children, the historic Banda d'Affori, dancing, street food, and local specialties. A free and participatory event, designed for children, families, and residents, celebrating the identity of one of Milan's historic northern districts.

The spread-out festival of Affori

Art Affori is a day of spread-out events in the Affori district, in Municipality 9 of the City of Milan, in Lombardy. For an entire Sunday, the neighborhood transforms into a large festive space involving streets, squares, shops, and its symbolic places, starting with the 18th-century Villa Litta and the Parchetto Astesani.

Art, games, and shows

The program combines creative activities, workshops, and games in the neighborhood's shops and small parks with itinerant shows of magic, music, and juggling. Among the offerings for children, the circus school run by the masters of Spazio Terzo Tempo Ululรฌ stands out, active in the afternoon between Villa Litta and Parchetto Astesani.

Music, band, and street food

There's also a convivial dimension: the historic Banda d'Affori, live music, singing, and dancing, as well as street food stalls and local specialties. For those who want to fully experience the day, a picnic at Villa Litta is also planned by reservation.

A community festival

With free admission and the patronage of Municipality 9, Art Affori is first and foremost a community festival: an opportunity to rediscover the neighborhood, its green spaces, and its commercial fabric, on a day designed for both children and adults.
