A day in the square with stalls, music, and volunteering
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.
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.
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 Autumn Festival of Cassina de' Pecchi returns in 2026 with its 34th edition, expected on a Saturday in late October. The event confirms the structure that makes it unique: a square festival entirely built by the volunteer associations of the territory.
Also for 2026, the town center comes alive with stalls, tastings, exhibitions, and music, while the MAiO Museum, the library, and the squares host workshops, readings, and activities for families.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published by the Municipality of Cassina de' Pecchi in the weeks preceding the event. The traditional structure, throughout the day, includes:
