Villafranca Fest 2026: Twelve Days of Enchantment Beneath the Scaliger Castle

Event Details

  • 📅 Start Date: 22/05/2026
  • 🔚 End Date: 02/06/2026
  • 📍 Location: Castello Scaligero di Villafranca

In the heart of the Veronese plain, the majestic Scaliger Castle of Villafranca prepares to host the twenty-sixth edition of Villafranca Fest. From May 22 to June 2, 2026, this historic stronghold transforms into a vibrant open-air stage, offering twelve days of music, flavours, and shared moments for all ages.

Originally conceived as a beer festival, Villafranca Fest has gracefully evolved, becoming an unmissable event that blends a passion for excellent music with a convivial and welcoming atmosphere. The national-calibre musical programme presents a rich and varied calendar: from the iconic sounds of the nineties with “Voglio Tornare negli Anni 90” and the electronic energy of “Domus DJ Live Show”, to engaging tributes to legends such as Metallica and Vasco Rossi. Evenings dedicated to Afro music with Yano Music Machine and dynamic DJ sets will resonate within the castle walls.

Admission is free, an open invitation to immerse oneself in this celebration that year after year renews its connection with the local region and its audience. A splendid opportunity to experience the essence of Verona within one of its most evocative settings.
