Festa Patronale di Vigano Certosino

The patronal festival of Vigano Certosino

The Festa Patronale di Vigano Certosino is the most anticipated event in the hamlet of Vigano Certosino, part of the Municipality of Gaggiano, in the province of Milan. The event, which takes place over several consecutive days in September, transforms the Area Feste on Via Gamberina into the pulsating centre of community life, welcoming residents and visitors in a festive atmosphere.

Four days of community

The festival unfolds over four days, from the evening opening to the Sunday closing. It is a moment of gathering and socialising for the community of Vigano Certosino, in the spirit of the patronal festivals of small towns in the Milan area, where the community dimension retains its full value. Free admission makes the festival accessible to everyone, including families.

The Associazione Il Certosino

The festival is organised by the Associazione Il Certosino, with the patronage of the Municipality of Gaggiano. The commitment of the volunteers helps to keep alive a tradition that unites the hamlet and celebrates its identity, in an event that marks the beginning of autumn in the Gaggiano area.
