Music and toasts under the stars in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II
About Capodanno in Piazza
The capital's New Year's Eve
Capodanno in Piazza is the event with which Campobasso celebrates the arrival of the new year. In Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, in the heart of the city, an open-air, free-admission celebration takes place, with live music, dancing, karaoke, and DJ sets that accompany the public until late at night and beyond the midnight toast.
The Maitunate
Alongside the modern celebration, a distinctly Molise tradition survives: the Maitunate, popular satirical New Year's Eve songs, which echo in Piazza Pepe. It is one of the most distinctive features of the Molise New Year's Eve, capable of intertwining contemporary celebration with the popular memory of the territory.
A party for everyone
The program often includes a second celebration hub, the "Capodanno al Centrale," with non-stop music, and a welcome party for the new year on January 1st. A widespread offering that makes Campobasso's New Year's Eve a moment of great civic participation.
