About Antica Sagra di Peschiera dei Muzzi

In the heart of Vicenza's summer, the hamlet of Peschiera dei Muzzi in Sovizzo comes alive with its Ancient Festival: six evenings of live music, DJ sets, a food stand, family attractions, and lots of fun. A genuine village festival, organized by the Friends of Peschiera Montemezzo Association, which every August draws people from all over the region to gather around good food and dancing under the stars.

A Summer Tradition in the Vicenza Area

The Ancient Festival of Peschiera dei Muzzi is one of the most cherished summer events in Sovizzo, a municipality in the province of Vicenza in the Veneto region. The event takes place in the hamlet of Peschiera dei Muzzi and spans six evenings in late August, animating the festival area with music, food, and entertainment for all ages.

What to Expect

The heart of the festival is the large food stand, open every evening from 7 PM, where you can taste various specialties and traditional Venetian dishes. The evenings are divided between the youth area with DJ sets and themed parties, and the area dedicated to ballroom dancing, with a dance floor and live orchestras that carry on a beloved tradition throughout the Vicenza area.

Alongside the music, there are attractions that make the festival a family event: the amusement park, motocross shows, and, to close the celebration, a fireworks display over the skies of Peschiera dei Muzzi.

The Spirit of the Festival

Organized with passion by volunteers from the Friends of Peschiera Montemezzo Association, the Ancient Festival is above all a moment of community: an opportunity to meet with neighbors, support the hamlet's activities, and experience the warm August evenings together. It is the village festival in its most authentic form, where conviviality matters as much as the program.
