Night Under the Stars (White Ascom Night)

Cigliano's White Night

In the height of summer, the center of Cigliano, a town in the Piedmont region's Vercelli Province, transforms for one evening into an open-air stage: this is the White Ascom Night, also known as the "Night Under the Stars," a white night organized by Ascom Confcommercio Vercelli in collaboration with the local municipality. For a few hours, traffic gives way to pedestrians, and the town streets fill with music, the aroma of food, and illuminated shop windows.

An evening of music and flavors

The format follows the successful model of white nights in the Vercelli area: downtown shops stay open until late with discounts and promotions, while bars and venues offer aperitifs, drinks, and street food. The stroll is accompanied by music, with DJ sets and live performances scattered along the streets and squares. It is the perfect opportunity for evening shopping, dining al fresco, and meeting up with friends under the stars.

An event for the whole family

The White Ascom Night is not just for adults: editions of the festival across the Vercelli area have always dedicated space to children with games, face painting, and entertainment, ensuring the evening can be enjoyed by families and young people alike. The result is a modern town festival that blends the tradition of Italian social life in the piazza with a desire to experience local commerce as a community event.

Cigliano and the Vercelli area in celebration

The event is part of a broader project promoted by Ascom Confcommercio in various towns of the Vercelli Province, from the capital city of Vercelli to Trino and Cigliano. In Cigliano, a town in the rice-growing plains between Turin and Vercelli, the white night has become a highly anticipated summer appointment, capable of attracting visitors from neighboring areas. A simple and popular evening, perfect for discovering the town and its network of shops and local venues.
