White Night of Busto Arsizio
The festival that opens summer in the center of Busto Arsizio
About White Night
Summer begins with the White Night
The White Night is the festival that kicks off the summer in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese. For one evening, the historic center 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 center: from the greatest hits of the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties to country rhythms, up 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 White Night offers 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
