About New Year's Eve at the Center of the World

Capodanno al Centro del Mondo is Foligno's big New Year's Eve celebration in Piazza della Repubblica. The name recalls the tradition that, since the Middle Ages, has indicated Foligno as the "center of the world." From the evening of December 31st, the square transforms into an open-air stage with live music, bands, and DJs until late at night, to welcome the new year together in the heart of Foligno's historic center.

The "Center of the World" Celebrates the New Year

Capodanno al Centro del Mondo is the end-of-year celebration in Foligno, in the Province of Perugia, held in Piazza della Repubblica. The name plays on an ancient tradition: since the Middle Ages, Foligno has been jokingly referred to as the "center of the world," an identity the city proudly claims and which gives its New Year's Eve party its title.

Music Until Midnight and Beyond

The evening of December 31st transforms the square into a large open-air stage, with live music and DJs alternating until late at night. The hosts, bands, and DJ sets accompany residents and visitors towards the midnight toast and beyond, in a climate of collective celebration. Restaurants and venues of the InCentro consortium offer themed menus for the occasion.

A Safe and Organized City Celebration

The event, promoted by the InCentro consortium with the Municipality of Foligno, is organized with controlled access and dedicated safety measures, as well as a ban on fireworks and glass and metal containers during the party hours. A public New Year's Eve designed to be participatory and safe, in the heart of Foligno's historic center.
