New year's Eve in PUGLIA

NEW YEAR'S  EVE CELEBRATION in LECCE

The beautiful Piazza di Sant’Oronzo will frame the New Year’s Eve in Lecce.

The year-end “Concertone” is now a classic that attracts people from Salento but also from outside, but there are plenty of alternatives, given the many clubs in the center, which organize excellent dinners with evening entertainment and music after midnight.

BARI

The main event of the 2020 New Year’s Eve in Puglia will be in Bari, where will take place a great music show, live on national radio and television and will see the participation of many Italian and international artists.

After the concert, people will continue to dance after midnight with the exceptional Dj Set.

The more daring can participate in the Marcialonga Nicolaiana, which includes a mass in the Basilica of San Nicola and after that a traditional New Year’s dip in the sea.

Another good idea to spend the New Year’s Eve in Puglia is the suggestive Valle d’Itria, which includes some of the most beautiful villages in Puglia, such as Locorotondo, Alberobello and Cisternino.

*For those who have never visited it, it is truly a magical place, with the classic Trulli and white houses, the farms with avenues lit by candles and Christmas lights and the olive trees under the light of the moon and stars.

A special place to celebrate in a party but also perfect for crowning an unforgettable evening with your partner.

FIRST DAWN IN ITALY

If you decide to spend New Year’s Eve in Puglia, you will be lucky enough to see the first dawn in Italy.

It is near Otranto, less than an hour’s drive south of Lecce.  Here is PUNTA PALASCIA :  the easternmost point of Italy.

There's a lighthouse there. The cape marks the symbolic border between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas.

On 1 January 2020, the sun in Punta Palascia will rise at 7.09 and to entertain the public there will be theatrical performances, video projections, sound design, live music, jam sessions and DJ sets.
