Amici di Casa don Gianni Country Festival

A village festival with a heart for charity

The Amici di Casa don Gianni Country Festival is one of the most cherished late-spring events in the town of Masera, located in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Piedmont. For three days, the Masera Sports Complex transforms into a vibrant community hub where music, great food, and activities for all ages blend with a spirit of sharing and solidarity. The event is promoted by the Alternativa A ETS Association, a Domodossola-based organization with a long history of social commitment, aimed primarily at raising funds to support the projects of Casa don Gianni.

Three days of music and conviviality

The program features a mix of social gatherings, concerts, and wellness activities. Friday evening kicks off with a grill dinner and a DJ set, while Saturday morning starts with yoga, followed by afternoon creative workshops and an evening concert by a local Ossola band. Sunday is the highlight, featuring a lunch with local cuisine, an orchestra performance in the early afternoon, Holy Mass at Casa don Gianni, and a final dance party to close the festival.

• Live music with local bands and ensembles
• Country-style cuisine: grilled meats, sausages, sandwiches, fries, and piadinas
• Yoga sessions and creative workshops for adults and children
• Markets and entertainment throughout the event

The spirit of Casa don Gianni
