Among the most anticipated new features is Le Voci dell'Alba , an experience that combines the magic of music with the allure of nature's awakening. Three special events take place in three iconic locations in the city: Rocca Borromea , Piazza del Popolo , and the Lido .
The Rocca will also be the scene of two exclusive events:
- June 30 – Full Moon Show
An evening of words, music and science with astrophysicist Fabio Peri , curator of the Milan Planetarium, who will take the public on a fascinating journey through the moon, myths and human history, with the extraordinary backdrop of the ancient ruins of the Rocca. - July 23 – Candle Live
An exciting acoustic concert illuminated exclusively by candlelight, dedicated to the unforgettable melodies of the Beatles.
Musica al Lago is also being updated and expanded, transforming into a network of open-air music venues that will include new strategic locations, including Piazza del Popolo, the Parlamentino area, and Lungolago Marconi.
An even bigger Pink Night throughout the city with the wait at Dawn and COSMOSI, a collective artwork:
The Notte Rosa is also expanding , and this year it will transform into a long, widespread celebration from Thursday, July 30th to Sunday, August 2nd . A large series of events will connect Lungolago Repubblica to Piazza del Popolo, with a rich program of shows and guests.
Among the protagonists, the sounds of 88Trend and the energy of DJ Ferrari , until the grand finale on Sunday evening with Lumina , the traditional pyro-musical show that every year gives unique emotions to Arona residents and visitors.
Thanks to "COSMOSI - collective artwork," from July 31st to August 2nd, Piazza San Graziano will be transformed into a living organism, where each participant will not only be a spectator, but an active participant in an entire universe.
A summer that doesn't just fill the squares, but embraces the entire city. An extraordinary program in terms of breadth, quality, and reach, bringing culture, music, entertainment, and socializing to every corner of Arona. A free program designed to bring the area to life every day, strengthen its identity, and consolidate Arona's role as a key player on Lake Maggiore and a hub for tourism, leisure, and culture.
On September 11th and 12th, there will be the event dedicated to young people " ARONA INSIEME ON STAGE " with all the local sports, cultural and volunteer associations, together with great guests from the music scene who will be revealed shortly.
