Three days of celebration in the streets of water and rice
The Festa di Basiglio, which bears the recurring title "Le vie dell'acqua e del riso", is the main civic event in Basiglio, a town south of Milan. Three days of celebration, traditionally in September, involving the entire community.
The theme of the event recalls the area's strong connection with water and the cultivation of rice, typical of the plain south of Milan. A rich program unfolds around this common thread: concerts, comedy shows, food stalls with traditional Lombard dishes โ starting with the risotto โ artisan and vintage markets, exhibitions, and activities for families.
The Festa di Basiglio is organized by the Municipal Administration in collaboration with the parish, the library, associations, and citizens. Amidst music, children's entertainment, charity raffles, and cultural initiatives, it's an occasion for the town to come together and for visitors to discover a municipality in the Milan metropolitan area during its festival days.
For 2026, the Festa di Basiglio is expected in September, with the usual title "Le vie dell'acqua e del riso". Three days of civic celebration in the town south of Milan.
