The city's grand New Year's Eve celebration at the Via delle Province Market Area
New Year's Eve in the Square has become one of the most anticipated events in the winter calendar of Cisterna di Latina, located in the province of Latina, in the heart of the Pontine Lazio region. Every New Year's Eve, the Municipality of Cisterna di Latina hosts a large, free public celebration to guide citizens toward the midnight countdown and welcome the New Year together under the stars.
The stage for the evening is the Via delle Province Market Area, a spacious city venue that hosts the weekly market and is specially prepared and secured for the New Year's Eve festivities. A large stage equipped with sound systems, lights, and LED walls, along with dedicated food and drink areas and public facilities, transforms the square into a true open-air arena, designed to ensure the party is comfortable and safe for families and young people alike.
The format features a musical show that kicks off in the early evening and builds momentum until the final countdown. A standout among recent editions was "Euforia 2000", a twenty-five-year musical journey spanning 90s sounds, dance hits, and current chart-toppers, featuring DJs, vocalists, performers, dancers, and live musicians. The show attracted nearly two thousand people, confirming how deeply rooted this event is in the life of the Cisterna community.
New Year's Eve in the Square is completely free and open to the public. The municipal administration's stated goal is to offer citizens, especially the youth, a safe and engaging way to celebrate, creating a shared gathering point in the city center. In recent years, the Municipality has also complemented the festivities with an ordinance banning the use of firecrackers and fireworks, ensuring a more peaceful and respectful New Year's Eve.
Situated between Rome and the Pontine coast, Cisterna di Latina is one of the most populous cities in the province of Latina and a key reference point for the entire area. The New Year's Eve event is part of the Municipality's rich Christmas program, the "Natale Cisternese," and represents the final, most festive moment of the end-of-year celebrations in southern Lazio.
For the transition to 2026, the Municipality of Cisterna di Latina confirmed the appointment with the New Year's Eve in the Square, setting up the Via delle Province Market Area with a stage, sound system, and lights for an evening of music open to the entire community. As per tradition, the free-entry festival included an area dedicated to food and drinks while waiting for midnight, along with public facilities.
To ensure a peaceful New Year's Eve, Mayor Valentino Mantini signed an ordinance banning the use of firecrackers, fireworks, and pyrotechnic devices with sound effects throughout the municipal territory, from the night of December 31, 2025, until January 1, 2026.
The event takes place on the night of December 31st at the Via delle Province Market Area in Cisterna di Latina (LT). The show begins in the early evening, approximately from 9:30 PM, and continues until the midnight toast.
Cisterna di Latina is easily accessible by car via the Via Appia (SS7) and the A1 motorway (Valmontone exit), or by train via the Rome-Naples line (via Formia). Parking areas are available in the city near the square.
Free admission. Food and drink areas and restrooms are available on-site.
