Sei in Festa

A village festival at the gates of Turin

Sei in Festa is the event that brings the community of Candiolo out into the streets. Located just south of Turin, in the first belt of the Piedmontese capital and close to the famous Stupinigi Hunting Residence, this town of just over five thousand inhabitants comes alive in early June. The festival is part of the broader Giugno Candiolese program, a series of events organized annually by the Municipality in collaboration with local associations and the Pro Loco to celebrate the arrival of summer.

The spirit of the event

Like many village festivals in Piedmont, Sei in Festa stems from the desire to gather and enjoy the town's public spaces together. The streets and squares of the center come alive with stalls, music, entertainment, and activities designed for all ages, in an informal and family-friendly atmosphere. It is the kind of event that reflects the identity of a small but vibrant community, where the volunteer work of associations and the commitment of the Pro Loco are the true engine of social life.

Candiolo and the surrounding area

Today, Candiolo is known throughout Piedmont and beyond for the Candiolo Institute, an important cancer research and treatment center. However, the town also preserves a strong tradition of festivals and celebrations linked to the local calendar: the patron saint is Saint John the Baptist, celebrated at the end of June, and the entire summer season is marked by popular events. For those visiting the festival, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Turin metropolitan area, far from the main tourist circuits.

Who is it for?

• Families and children, thanks to the peaceful atmosphere and entertainment areas
• Residents of Candiolo and the neighboring towns in the southern belt of Turin
