About Autumn Festival

On the last Saturday of October, Cassina de' Pecchi transforms into a large village festival. The Autumn Festival fills Via Papa Giovanni XXIII and Via Matteotti with stalls, tastings, exhibitions, and music, while dozens of volunteer associations liven up squares, the library, and the museum with workshops, readings, concerts, and activities for families. A collective event that showcases the associative fabric of this municipality in the Martesana area, on the outskirts of Milan, and offers a day of community in the open air.

A festival made by associations

The Autumn Festival is one of the most beloved events in Cassina de' Pecchi, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan along the Martesana Canal. It is traditionally held on the last Saturday of October and features the participation of the many volunteer associations from the area: in the most recent edition, over twenty-five were involved, from Croce Bianca to Lions Club, from AVIS to theater groups.

Stalls, exhibitions, and music

The heart of the festival are the stalls along Via Papa Giovanni XXIII and Via Matteotti, where products, tastings, and artisan offerings are showcased. However, activities are spread throughout the town center: in Piazza Decorati al Valor Civile, in the library, in the council chamber, and at the MAiO Museum, which hosts themed exhibitions and displays.

A day for all ages

The program combines culture, solidarity, and entertainment: free vision screenings, educational demonstrations like Bicisuola for children, readings by Nati per Leggere, concerts by local music groups, and awards for literary competitions. It is a festival designed for families, where Cassina de' Pecchi highlights its associative vitality and sense of community.

The proven formula is confirmed: stalls along Via Papa Giovanni XXIII and Via Matteotti, tastings, exhibitions at the MAiO Museum, music, and activities for families animated by the country's volunteer associations.
