Agosto Deghese
Two weeks of festivities around Ferragosto in the Val Bormida village of Dego
About Agosto Deghese
The great Dego summer festival
Agosto Deghese is the event that accompanies the summer in Dego, a municipality in the Val Bormida in the province of Savona, on the border between Liguria and Piedmont. Organised by the Pro Loco of Dego, the festival runs for about two weeks around Ferragosto and the feast of the Madonna du Dè, with a rich calendar of events.
Music, culture, and gastronomy
The evenings of Agosto Deghese alternate musical and dancing shows, entertainment for children, art and photography exhibitions, and book presentations, offering something for all tastes and ages. The unifying element is the food and wine stand, open every evening from 7:30 PM with traditional Val Bormida dishes and specialities that vary from night to night.
A community celebration
Conceived as a great moment of gathering for the town and visitors, the event reflects the convivial spirit of the Ligurian hinterland's summer festivals. Agosto Deghese is an opportunity to experience Dego in the heart of summer, rediscovering the traditions of the Val Bormida through good food, music, and culture.
