New Year’s eve in Palermo: the Sicilian capital is divided into two

It is one of the essential appointments when it comes to New Year’s Eve in Sicily. Especially if you intend to greet the arrival of the new year in the square, along with many other people who, like you, want to have fun and be together. Exactly what the 2020 New Year’s eve in Palermo will offer you: all you have to do is organize the holiday.

The New Year’s eve is divided into two

The “historic” place of the New Year in Palermo square is Politeama square (the “popular” name of Ruggero Settimo square, so renamed because of the presence of the Palermo maximum theater). This year, for some work in progress, the Politeama will have to give up.

Don’t worry, the New Year’s eve is not only safe but it is divided into two. Because to “compensate” for the impossibility of organizing it in Politeama square, there are two scheduled events:

• The first, the main one, will be in Giulio Cesare square, in front of the central Palermo station;
• The second will be at the CEP, a suburb of the city, a choice motivated by the desire to turn the New Year into a party that involves all the citizens of Palermo.

The official program is still under development. Although there is no reliable information, surely all the ingredients that made New Year’s Eve in Palermo will be guaranteed: music, people, fun and the inevitable fireworks display at midnight.
