Milanesiana returns to Livigno with many cultural events

The Livigno folk fest is a celebration of typical Livigno costumes in an atmosphere of dancing, partying and tasting local products.

A big party through the streets of Livigno with street performances, street artists and music, but all this takes place in the dark because only the lights of torches, the moon and the stars shine on that night.

On this day, the ancient traditions associated with the processing of hay, a very important resource of the past, are revived.

In Livigno, winter is also breathing in the summer with the 1K SHOT and GARA DA LI CONTRADA race in which athletes and amateurs compete on a 1-kilometre course completely covered in snow in the streets of the town centre.

With its 3.8 km of swimming, 195 km of cycling and 42.2 km of running, the Icon Xtreme Triathlon joins the international scene of the most desirable extreme long-distance multi-discipline competitions in its own right and is an interesting innovation for all fans of the genre.

On this day, the alpine transhumance is evoked in which animals, after the summer in the alpine pastures, return to the village for the winter period. The festively dressed animals parade along the streets of the town centre with the inahbitants of Livigno dressed 'in the old style' to revive the emotions of rural life in days of the past.
