Notte Bianca di Busto Arsizio

Summer begins with the Notte Bianca

The Notte Bianca is the festival that kicks off the summer in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. For one evening, the historic centre transforms into a large, widespread stage: from late afternoon until late at night, music, shows, and entertainment invade squares and pedestrian streets, with shops remaining open for the occasion.

Music in every square

The heart of the festival is live music, spread across the various squares in the centre: from the great hits of the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties to country rhythms, to the historic voices of Italian radio. Every corner of the city offers a different atmosphere, inviting the public to stroll and discover the various stages.

Not just concerts

Alongside the music, the Notte Bianca features a creative market for hobbyists, shows, and activities for families and children. The evening opening of shops and venues completes the experience, making the evening an opportunity for shopping, conviviality, and fun in the heart of the city.

The opening of BA Estate

The Notte Bianca marks the beginning of BA Estate, Busto Arsizio's rich programme of summer events that continues throughout the warm season with dinners in the piazza, open-air cinema in the neighbourhoods, and shows. Organised by the Municipality with the Commerce District, it is one of the most anticipated events at the start of the Busto summer, with free admission.
