About Casalnuovo May Day
May Day at the Parco delle Chiocciole
The Casalnuovo May Day Festival has become a staple of the city calendar in Casalnuovo di Napoli, a town in the province of Naples, Campania. Every year, for Labor Day, the lush Parco delle Chiocciole on Via Paolo Borsellino transforms into a vibrant festival space, welcoming families, young people, and residents from across the area north of Naples.
A free concert for Labor Day
The heart of the event is the major free evening concert, which brings some of the most beloved names in Neapolitan music to the park's stage. While Gianni Fiorellino lit up the evening in 2025, the third edition in 2026 features the voice of Alessio, in a show designed for an intergenerational audience. The concert is free to attend, but due to high demand, mandatory booking is always required.
Entertainment and activities for families
The festivities go well beyond the evening: throughout the day, the Parco delle Chiocciole hosts entertainment, games, and activities dedicated to children, making May Day a fun-filled occasion for the whole family. The outdoor setting, surrounded by the park's greenery, makes the event a perfect meeting place for the Casalnuovo community.
An event that grows year by year
Founded in 2024, the festival has reached its third edition in just a few seasons, establishing itself as one of the most popular Labor Day events in the Vesuvius area and north of Naples. The initiative is promoted by the association Una Città Che... in collaboration with the Parco delle Chiocciole, with the goal of offering the city a free moment of music and social gathering.
