New Year's Eve Celebration in Lugano

Don't stay home, come celebrate at Piazza Riforma! The actual celebration starts at 23.00 with Radio Channel 3's best DJs re-proposing the most famous music pieces of the last 30 years, accompanied by lights and images. Towards midnight the exciting countdown will begin.

On New Year’s Eve in Lugano, thousands of people gather on the Piazza Manzoni, turning it into a giant open-air dance floor. From 11 pm a beautifully staged show of lights and colours commences, reaching their exuberant climax at midnight. Soon after, free dishes of lentils – traditionally said to bring luck in the New Year – are distributed to revelers.
