Festa di Corsico

The town's big celebration

The Festa di Corsico is the event of the year for this town in the province of Milan, located on the Naviglio Grande. For about three weeks, from late August to mid-September, over seventy events liven up the historic center and the town's neighborhoods – from the center to Giorgella, from Burgo to Piazza Europa – in a collective celebration that brings together culture, entertainment, sport, gastronomy, and religious tradition. The organization is managed by the Municipality of Corsico along with numerous local associations, oratories, merchants, and Confcommercio.

Shows, circus, and theater

The festival opens with acrobatic contemporary circus, featuring top-level performances, and continues with a packed schedule of theater, entrusted to groups like Comteatro and Non a Caso, exhibitions, painting workshops, Milanese song recitals, and magic shows. Music is omnipresent: jazz concerts, singer-songwriters, rock, ballroom, Latin, and pizzica dance evenings accompany the nights in Corsico.

The White Night and the amusement park

Among the most anticipated moments is the White Night, which from 6 PM to midnight transforms the historic center into a large play area: urban amusement park, traditional games, retro games, inflatables, giant chess and checkers, historical costume parades, DJ sets, and foam parties. There are also areas dedicated to children, with entertainment, circus shows, and art workshops, and street food as a backdrop.

Sports, fireworks, and patronal feast

The Sports and Associations Festival showcases the town's many sports organizations, while the fireworks display at Parco Resistenza lights up the Corsico sky. The event also intertwines with the patronal feast of the Madonna della Cintura, the town's patron saint, and civil ceremonies such as the awarding of civic honors. The Festa di Corsico is the best opportunity to discover the identity and vitality of this community in the southwest of Milan.
