Festa d'Autunno di Cassina de' Pecchi
A day in the square with stalls, music, and volunteering
About Festa d'Autunno
A festival made by associations
The Festa d'Autunno is one of the most beloved events in Cassina de' Pecchi, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan along the Martesana canal. It is traditionally held on the last Saturday of October and features the many volunteer associations of the area: in the most recent edition, over twenty-five were involved, from Croce Bianca to Lions Club, from AVIS to theatre groups.
Stalls, exhibitions, and music
The heart of the festival consists of the stalls along Via Papa Giovanni XXIII and Via Matteotti, where products, tastings, and artisan offerings alternate. However, activities are spread throughout the town centre: in Piazza Decorati al Valor Civile, in the library, in the council chamber, and at the MAiO Museum, which hosts themed exhibitions and displays.
A day for all ages
The programme blends culture, solidarity, and entertainment: free visual screenings, educational demonstrations like Bicisuola for children, readings from Nati per Leggere, concerts by local musical groups, and awards for literary competitions. It is a festival designed for families, where Cassina de' Pecchi showcases its associative vitality and sense of community.
Festa d'Autunno — edition 2026
The Festa d'Autunno of Cassina de' Pecchi returns in 2026 with its 34th edition, expected for a Saturday in late October. The event confirms the structure that makes it unique: a square festival entirely built by the volunteer associations of the area.
Also for 2026, the town centre comes alive with stalls, tastings, exhibitions, and music, while the MAiO Museum, the library, and the squares host workshops, readings, and family activities.
