Christmas in the City in Pioltello
Pioltello's Christmas program, from the patronal feast to Epiphany
About Christmas in the City
A month of festivities in Pioltello
Christmas in the City is the Christmas program of the Municipality of Pioltello, a town in the hinterland east of Milan in the Metropolitan City of Milan. Not a single event, but a widespread calendar that accompanies the community from late November until Epiphany, with events touching the historic center and its hamlets (Limito, Seggiano).
The program is promoted by the municipal administration together with the Pro Loco Pioltello Bello and local associations, and combines institutional moments, popular celebrations, and solidarity initiatives. It is the way Pioltello builds the festive atmosphere, involving families, children, and the elderly.
From the Christmas Tree to Epiphany
The event kicks off with the lighting of the large Christmas tree and the inauguration of the Christmas lights, coinciding with the patronal feast of Sant'Andrea (November 30th). Among the events marking the period are the Dancing Fountains, a show of water, light, and music in Piazza dei Popoli; the Santa Lucia Fair in the historic center; Santa's Village in Limito; gospel concerts; a party for the elderly; and, to conclude, the Epiphany celebration with music in the square in Seggiano. All events are free.
