The great Festival of Unity of Lombardy
For years, the Fiera area of Melzo, in via Colombo, has hosted the Regional Festival of Unity, the most important summer event of the Lombardy Democratic Party. Melzo, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the heart of the Martesana, becomes for about a month the meeting point for politics, culture, and social life in the region.
The program combines different elements: political debates with prominent national and regional figures, book presentations, and meetings with journalists and authors, alongside a rich entertainment offering with concerts, tango evenings, country music, and dancing. The convivial heart of the festival is the large restaurant, accompanied by a pizzeria and bar.
The event is made possible by the work of hundreds of volunteers and stands out for its environmental focus: compostable and recyclable tableware and materials, in a plastic-free approach. Despite being a politically oriented festival, the Festival of Unity of Melzo has been a moment of popular gathering open to the entire territory for decades.
The Regional Festival of Unity returns to Melzo in 2026, faithful to its summer placement between June and July in the Fiera area of via Colombo. The event will re-propose the usual mix of political debates with national guests, cultural events, concerts, dance evenings, and catering, with the work of volunteers and the plastic-free imprint that distinguishes it.
Dates and detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published on the website festaunitamelzo.it in the preceding weeks. The established format includes about a month of evening events with: political debates and current affairs meetings; book presentations; concerts and musical evenings (including tango and country); dancing; and the large restaurant with pizzeria and bar.
