Edition 2025 — Festival of Saint Zeno

In 2025, the Festival of Saint Zeno animated Castano Primo on the fourth Sunday of October. The solemn Mass with the "brusà il balon" ritual and the historical fair in the center renewed the tradition that has united the town's patronal feast with its mercantile vocation for centuries.

The 2025 edition of the patronal feast of Saint Zeno confirmed the tradition of Castano Primo. On the fourth Sunday of October, the two central elements of the festival were renewed: the solemn Mass in the parish church, with the "brusà il balon" ritual – the burning of a large votive balloon symbolizing the flame of faith – and the historical fair, with stalls filling the town center.

An event that, even in 2025, attracted visitors from all over the Alto Milanese region, intertwining the religious dimension of the occasion with the centuries-old commercial tradition linked to the fair of 18th-century origin.
