Children's White Night – Rione Italia Festival

The eleventh edition of the Children's White Night – Rione Italia Festival was held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, starting at 4:30 PM in Piazzetta Fedele, Galatina. Organized by Virtus Basket Galatina together with the #ballaperme association, the event brought a rich, highly multidisciplinary program of street art to the Rione Italia district.

For the occasion, the entire square was transformed into a child-friendly space: alchemists, magicians, stilt walkers, and fire-eaters accompanied the little ones into a world of surprises, while creative workshops made every child the absolute protagonist of the great night festival.

The artists' performances occupied the streets, alleys, and squares of the neighborhood until 11:59 PM: acrobats, jugglers, musicians, and clowns took turns creating a fairytale atmosphere and involving entire families in one of the most popular evenings of the Galatina Christmas season. Admission was free.
