The grand end-of-year concert in Verona's living room, at the foot of the Arena
New Year's Eve in Piazza Bra is the symbolic end-of-year celebration of the city: the grand square at the foot of the Arena, the famous Veronese 'liston' (promenade), transforms into an open-air stage where thousands of people await midnight together. Live concert, guests, countdown, and DJ sets mark a night of celebration in the heart of Verona.
The program, organized by the Municipality of Verona, features a major evening concert with guests from the Italian music scene, followed by the midnight countdown and a DJ set that extends the festivities until the early hours. The square, with the Arena's scenic backdrop, offers a unique atmosphere.
Free and open to all, New Year's Eve in Piazza Bra is one of Verona's most popular events, located in the province of Verona (Veneto Region). To ensure the safety of the event, the Municipality typically imposes specific prohibitions (glass bottles and cans) in the hours leading up to the celebration.
For New Year's Eve 2026, Piazza Bra hosted the 'Big & Bang' concert by RTL 102.5 and Radio Zeta, starting at 9 PM on December 31, 2025. On stage, hosted by Angelo Baiguini, Francesca Cheyenne, Jessica Brugali, Vanessa Grey, and Diego Zappone, artists from the new Italian pop scene performed. After midnight, until 3 AM, the party continued with 'Discoteca Nazionale'. The event attracted around 20,000 attendees, with a ban on glass bottles and cans from 8 PM.
Piazza Bra is in the historic center of Verona, a short walk from Verona Porta Nuova station. During the celebration, traffic and access with glass bottles and cans will be restricted.
