About Alpini Festival

Every June, at the Festival Area in via degli Albarelli, the Ghisalba Alpini Group hosts one of the most beloved festivals in the Bassa Bergamasca. For two consecutive weekends, the festival offers genuine cuisine, barbecues, pizzas, beer, desserts, the unmissable tombola (bingo), and many live music evenings. It's an opportunity to gather around the values of solidarity and friendship of the 'penne nere' (black hats), in a family-friendly and welcoming atmosphere that draws thousands of people from Ghisalba and neighboring towns every year.

The 'Penne Nere' Celebrate

The Alpini Festival of Ghisalba is one of the most cherished events in the summer calendar of the Bassa Bergamasca. Organized by the local Alpini Group, part of the Bergamo section of the National Alpini Association, it takes place at the Festival Area in via degli Albarelli, in the Municipality of Ghisalba, province of Bergamo.

Two Weekends of Conviviality

The event spans two weekends in June, offering food service every evening and also for lunch on holidays. The gastronomic offerings are the generous specialties of alpine festivals: barbecues, pizzas, first courses, draft beer, and desserts, served under a covered area. There are also tombola games and evening musical entertainment, with orchestras and bands animating the dancing evenings.

A Tradition of Solidarity

Like all Alpini festivals, the Ghisalba event also has a heart of solidarity: the proceeds support the Group's activities and the numerous charitable initiatives of the 'penne nere' in the region. Participating therefore means not only enjoying excellent food and having fun, but also contributing to a network of volunteers that has been a bastion of solidarity in the Bergamo community for decades.
