New Year's Eve Square Celebration (Capodanni di Puglia)

Brindisi's 2026 New Year's Eve

On the night between December 31, 2025, and January 1, 2026, Brindisi welcomed the new year in Largo Gianni D'Errico, in front of the Nuovo Teatro Verdi, with a grand square party hosted by the radio station Ciccio Riccio. From 11:30 PM to 2:30 AM, the crowd danced under the stars, guided by DJs, speakers, and vocalists toward the midnight countdown, after which the square became an open-air dancefloor until late at night.

The celebration was part of the broader Brindisi program for «Capodanni di Puglia», curated by the Fondazione Nuovo Teatro Verdi with the Municipality of Brindisi, which also included «Christmas Eve Concerts» with the baroque orchestra La Confraternita de' Musici (December 27), the show «The Soul Sisters» (December 29), and «New Year's in Vienna» at the Nuovo Teatro Verdi (January 1).
