The San Giacomo Festival in Rivalta Veronese: A Tradition to Savor

The 24th edition of the San Giacomo Festival in Rivalta Veronese returns from July 23rd to July 27th, 2026. This event stands as a cornerstone of the summer season, blending local heritage with the simple joy of community gathering.

Throughout the five days, the festival offers an immersive culinary experience. Visitors can delight in exquisite truffle-based dishes and traditional recipes such as pike with polenta, celebrating the rich terroir of the region. The schedule is thoughtfully curated to balance entertainment and engagement: from spirited sports tournaments to live tribute music and lighthearted challenges like the mechanical bull, there is a space for every guest to enjoy.

Beyond the festivities, the event invites exploration of the local history. Guided tours to the Mansio Servasa archaeological site and the church of San Giacomo provide a window into the past of this beautiful area within the Val d’Adige. With a strong commitment to charity and community spirit, the festival is a perfect opportunity to experience the authentic atmosphere of the Italian countryside.
