Patron saint festival In 283 days
Saint Christopher, patron of the town once known for its hundred chimneys
📅 Every year, on 25 July
Gallarate celebrates Saint Christopher on 25 July; in the early 20th century the town was known as «the town of a hundred chimneys» for its industrial vocation, centred above all on textiles, which over time gave way to a growing role as a service hub tied to nearby Malpensa.
