Half a century of celebration in the hamlet of Lobia, San Bonifacio
About Antica Sagra de Lobia
The Antica Sagra de Lobia
In Lobia, a hamlet of San Bonifacio in the province of Verona, the festival has been a community event for half a century. The Antica Sagra de Lobia, organized by the Comitato Festeggiamenti Lobia (Lobia Celebrations Committee), enlivens Piazza Santa Lucia between late May and the June 2nd holiday, with a program that blends gastronomy, music, and solidarity.
Flavors of Veronese tradition
The food stand is the heart of the festival, featuring classic Veronese dishes: polenta e musso (polenta with donkey stew), luganeghe (sausages), risottos, and fish dishes. Evenings kick off with Spritz Island and DJ sets, while a funfair and a rich charity raffle are set up for families.
Ballroom dancing, community, and solidarity
The evenings are marked by ballroom dancing orchestras that fill the square with waltzes, mazurkas, and polkas. But the Antica Sagra de Lobia is above all a solidarity festival: the proceeds from the event are donated to support the hamlet's nursery school, confirming how these local festivals are engines of social life and commitment for the local community of San Bonifacio.
