Gargnano celebrates the milk can throwing for Santa Lucia

Today, Gargnano witnessed an extraordinary turnout of children for the traditional event of milk can tossing, which takes place on the eve of Saint Lucia. In the historic center, numerous little ones dragged milk cans, buckets, and jars tied to a rope, trying to catch the attention of the Saint in exchange for sweets and candies, thus anticipating the gifts expected on the following night. This festive tradition will also be repeated this evening in Limone, where participants will gather at 8 PM at the Info Caldogno square. From there, they will head towards the old port to await the arrival of Saint Lucia, who will come ashore aboard a local fishing boat, promising more surprises for the children present.
