Festa Patronale di Garbagnate Milanese

The Patron Saints of Garbagnate Milanese

The patron saints of Garbagnate Milanese, in the metropolitan area of Milan, are Saints Eusebius and Maccabeus, whose liturgical feast day is August 4th. However, the civil celebration takes place in September, when for three days the city transforms into a large social space with dozens of events spread across numerous locations.

The Palio dei Rioni

The heart of the festival is the Palio dei Rioni, a competition that pits the city's districts against each other: Garbagnate Centro, Santa Maria Rossa, Quadrifoglio, and Bariana. Bocce tournaments, foosball, ping-pong, card games (scopa), treasure hunts, and traditional games involve the residents of Garbagnate in a challenge that fosters a sense of belonging.

• Palio dei Rioni with traditional tournaments and games
• Comedy shows with stars from Zelig and Colorado
• Fireworks display
• Fashion shows, photographic exhibitions, and concerts

Shows for Everyone

The patronal festival program is rich and varied: from the "Big Comedy Ring Show" with comedians from Zelig and Colorado to the evening fireworks display, from fashion shows to activities for children, and concerts by youth wind orchestras. A program that blends religious tradition with popular entertainment.

A City Celebration

Organized by the Municipality of Garbagnate Milanese, the patronal festival is one of the most important events in the city's calendar. With free admission, it brings together associations, districts, and citizens for a weekend that celebrates the community's identity in the northwestern hinterland of Milan.
