New Year's Eve in Ferrara
For over 20 years synonymous with wonder and pure magic. An event that attracts more than 30,000 people from all over the world to the city every year. The restaurants in the city centre will be the perfect setting for dinner and aperitifs, while Piazza Castello will be transformed into a grand open-air stage. At the stroke of midnight, amidst toasts and hugs, a moment that is always an emotion for us too will begin. The Burning of the Castello Estense: fireworks and exciting music, to kick off your year in a unique and incomparable way!
But where did this tradition come from? To welcome the new millennium, we decided that our marvellous castle had to become the star of a fireworks show so beautiful and spectacular that it would take your breath away! Since that unforgettable night between 31 December 1999 and 1 January 2000, New Year's Eve in Ferrara has become an unmissable event. So much so, in fact, that it has become a classic of the national New Year's Eve news and Vanity Fair has included it among the best open-air New Year's Eve parties in the world.
