Adventus
December 20-21, 2025
Two days to celebrate the arrival of winter and the atmosphere of Advent through music, traditions and local flavours. The event enlivens the city to life with a rich and evocative program combining folk culture, ancient instruments, workshops and tastings.
The centerpiece of the event is "The Playing Goat", the first city festival dedicated to the bagpipe: instruments that have accompanied the life of Apennine communities for centuries. Musicians from various regions will perform in Piazza San Prospero and the city centre streets, along with dialect readings and itinerant musical performances.
Possibility to participate in craft and dialect workshops, discover local culinary delights with the Epulonie dedicated to panettone, spongata and sweet tortellino, and experience the city through guided tours and family activities. There will also be a moment of collective celebration with the Santa Claus Marathon, a non-competitive race open to all.
