Grosseto province

As every year, on December 31 a traditional event in which people will wait for midnight will take place in Piazza Dante.

Leghorn province

The party in Livorno has the flavour of the sea at the Terrazza Mascagni: for the New Year, there will be a Gala starting at 10pm with Caribbean dance and an exhibition of local products. Then, there will be fireworks and DJ sets until 2am.

Lucca province

The tradition in Lucca is that everyone goes to celebrate in Piazza Napoleone. The party starts at 10pm and lasts until early morning of January 1st. There will be music turning the square into a veritable open-air disco. Very peculiar is the so-called “midnight of Lucca”, which takes place 17 minutes, 58 seconds and 8 tenths of a second after midnight, providing a second toast to the sound of the tolls of the clock of the historical Clock Tower, located in Via Fillungo.

Pisa province

In Pisa, there will be a party in Piazza Carrara with the Italian group Zen Circus and the Italian singer Edoardo Bennato. At Teatro Verdi, Ornella Vanoni is in concert.

Prato province

An innovative New Year’s Eve party this year in Prato, with “Architectural vj party” in the Cathedral square. Cheers and music from the Eighties, starting from 10.30pm.

Siena province

During New Year’s Eve, the historical centre of Siena will be surrounded by music and special events, with a grand finale in Piazza del Campo. There will be also fireworks.
In Colle Val d’Elsa, Piazza Arnolfo will come alive with music events starting from 7pm. Special guest is Gatti Mezzi and Matti delle Giuncaie. Afterparty with Statuto. Free entry.
