White Night of Corteolona and Genzone

The evening the town stays awake

The White Night is one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Corteolona and Genzone, a municipality in the province of Pavia. As is traditional for Italian white nights, for one evening the town centre comes alive until late at night, with a programme of widespread entertainment involving squares, streets, and businesses.

A celebration for the whole community

The evening is designed as a gathering moment for the entire community: families, young people, and visitors from neighbouring towns meet in the streets to enjoy music, entertainment, and conviviality. Businesses participate with evening openings and initiatives, helping to bring the town centre to life in an informal and popular festive atmosphere.

The start of summer

Held in early June, the White Night symbolically marks the beginning of the warm season in Corteolona and Genzone. It is one of those local festivals that strengthen the sense of community and enhance public spaces as meeting places, in line with the municipality's vibrant event programming in the Oltrepò Pavese region.

With the patronage of the Municipality

The event takes place under the patronage of the Municipality of Corteolona and Genzone, in the province of Pavia, which includes it in the summer events calendar along with other significant local events, such as the LineOut Art Festival. The White Night is one of the most attended moments of this programme, capable of enlivening the town and attracting audiences from the Oltrepò and the surrounding Pavia plain, on an evening that combines the desire to be together with the discovery of local activities and flavours.
