Ippodromo Snai La Maura 2026

Snai La Maura: Milan's wide-open stage for summer music

Set within the historic San Siro racing district on the western edge of Milan, the Ippodromo Snai La Maura is a vast open-air ground originally laid out for trotting races. In recent years its sweeping green expanse has become one of the city's favourite settings for large-scale open-air concerts and multi-day music festivals, drawing international crowds under the Lombard summer sky.

Its sheer scale — flat, unobstructed and framed by the trees of the surrounding parkland — lets it hold some of the biggest live audiences in Milan while keeping the relaxed, festival feel of a day out in the open air.

What to expect

Expect a big, buzzing open-air atmosphere: long summer evenings, food and drink stands, and a crowd that arrives early to soak up the day. The site sits beside the San Siro stadium and racecourse complex on the western side of Milan and is well served by public transport — the M5 metro line reaches the San Siro area, and extra shuttle and bus services often run on major event days. Comfortable shoes and sun protection go a long way, since much of the space is open ground.
