Among these few ones, we suggest “Witches in Selvino“, in the town of Selvino, surroundings of Bergamo, not so far from Milan.
It’s a typical Halloween celebration, with costumes, bloody drinks and pumpkin lanterns, starting in the evening of October 31 and runs through the following day.
For the fonds of Celtic traditions, living or staying in Lombardy area, we suggest also the annual celebration of the Celtic New Year in Milano, at Castello Sforzesco; October28 - 30.
