New Year's Eve in Palermo is celebrated in the square at the concert in Piazza Castelnuovo, organized every year by the Municipality of Palermo.
The City is preparing to experience a special New Year's Eve night with a great event to welcome 2026 together with Arisa and The Kolors who will be the protagonists of the 2026 New Year's Eve concert
It will be a moment of celebration, sharing and civic identity, to be experienced in serenity and complete safety, as has happened in recent years thanks to the joint work of the institutions
How far is Piazza Ruggero Settimo from the historic centre?
Piazza R. Settimo dista circa 19′ a piedi dall’incrocio fra via Roma e via V. Emanuele. Il consiglio è di camminare a piedi sfruttando i principali assi quali via Maqueda, via Roma e via V. Emanuele e recarvi già verso la piazza attorno le 22:00. Magari muniti di una buona bottiglia di spumante da condividere con altre persone. Evitate di passeggiare giprossimità della mezzanotte causa problemi coi botti.
What if I want to have dinner outside before the concert?
On the last day of the year there are many restaurants that offer a particular blocked menu, full of local specialities. From street food to fish-based dishes, concluding with the classic panettone. Always pay attention to quality and prices because the trap is always lurking.
Among the restaurants in the centre, we suggest some: the Osteria Ballarò for a relaxing dinner in a suggestive location, or theOsteria della Mercede, a few steps from the Politeama.
Check the respective menus and book well in advance. Also don't forget to wear comfortable shoes, anticipating having to stand for a few hours during the celebrations.
Now all you have to do is plan your last day of the year!
