Springtime Celebration in Cologno Monzese

Calendimaggio is an ancient festival that welcomes the arrival of spring, and in Cologno Monzese, in the province of Milan, it becomes an opportunity for a weekend of events spread throughout the city. The Pro Loco's Spring Festival is the heart of the event: a day dedicated to families, children, and the desire to spend time together outdoors.

Many Activities for the Little Ones

Among the squares in the center, there are alternating puppet shows, baby dance, face painting, and the unmissable magic of soap bubbles, capable of enchanting both young and old. Accompanying the festival is also the craft market, featuring creativity, curiosities, and many ideas to discover while strolling.

A Widespread Festival

The event extends to the various neighborhoods of the city: from initiatives in the center, between Piazza Castello, Villa Casati, and Piazza XI Febbraio, to events in neighborhoods like San Maurizio, with activities in the park and an open-air library. Organized by the Pro Loco together with the Municipality of Cologno Monzese, the Calendimaggio Festival offers free admission.
