About Spring Festival

When spring arrives, Nova Milanese transforms its historic center into a journey around the world. The Spring Festival sets up themed areas dedicated to different continents and cultures in the city squares, featuring live music, dances, international cuisine, and exhibitions. A path to be experienced on foot, from late afternoon until night, which enlivens local commerce and brings together families from the Brianza region for a colorful and cosmopolitan evening of celebration.

A festival that goes around the world

The Spring Festival is the major city event of Nova Milanese, in the Province of Monza and Brianza, which inaugurates the warmer season. The format is a widespread thematic route: each year the festival chooses a common thread - recently "traveling the world" - and sets up areas dedicated to different cultures and continents in the city squares.

Squares, flavors, and music

Walking through the center, visitors move from one world to another: international cuisines, cocktails, dances, live concerts, photographic exhibitions, and activities for children. Each square has its own atmosphere, from Latin music to exotic flavors, in a succession of offerings that liven up the evening from late afternoon until midnight.

The lively city center

Organized by the Municipality of Nova Milanese together with the Distretto Unico del Commercio (Unified Commerce District), the Spring Festival is also an opportunity to promote the commercial activities in the center, with shops open and businesses involved. It is one of the most attended events of the year in Nova Milanese, capable of attracting visitors from all over the Brianza region for an evening of celebration, taste, and culture.
