Moon Festival

Moon Festival 2025 — The candlelit village

The fourth edition of the Moon Festival was held on September 5th and 6th, 2025, in San Raffaele Cimena, in the evocative village of San Raffaele Alto. For two nights, standard lighting gave way to candles, lanterns, and light installations, transforming the town into an open-air theatre.

Every street, courtyard, and square hosted circus, theatre, dance, puppetry, performances, and figure theatre, as well as interactive experiences; the fully illuminated castle served as a backdrop visible from the entire surrounding area. Free and accessible, the event was produced by DN-Art with the coordination of the Pro Loco of San Raffaele Cimena, the support of the Municipality, and the contribution of the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo as part of their participatory festival program. The weekend concluded on Sunday, September 7th, with the Festa 'd San Rafè.
