The historic end-of-summer festival in the hamlet of Dossobuono
The Antica Sagra di Dossobuono is the traditional village festival of the hamlet of Dossobuono, in the territory of Villafranca di Verona, near Verona-Villafranca airport. It takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September, around the sports hall in Viale Europa, and is one of the most deeply rooted festivals in the local community, with a history spanning decades.
The programme follows the classic format of a large Veronese festival: food stalls open for several evenings, live music with tribute bands, dance orchestras, and rock acts, Sunday dedicated to the vintage car exhibition, and the unmissable charity raffle. A mix of tradition, conviviality, and fun that attracts residents and visitors from all over the Villafranca area.
Organised by the parish and local community of Dossobuono, the Antica Sagra represents a central moment in the life of the hamlet, capable of bringing generations together around the village traditions. Despite the difficulties of some editions, the festival continues to renew its end-of-summer appointment in the plain southwest of Verona.
The 2026 edition of the Antica Sagra di Dossobuono is scheduled, according to custom, between the end of August and the beginning of September, around the sports hall in Viale Europa, in the hamlet of Dossobuono in Villafranca di Verona. Food stalls, live music evenings with dance orchestras and tribute bands, the vintage car exhibition, and the charity raffle are anticipated. The precise dates and detailed programme will be communicated by the organisers closer to the event. It should be noted that the 2025 edition was cancelled for health reasons related to a case of Chikungunya: the return of the festival is eagerly awaited with renewed participation.
The detailed programme for the 2026 edition will be announced by the organisers. The usual structure includes several evenings with food stalls, live music (tribute bands, dance orchestras, rock acts), a vintage car exhibition on Sundays, and a charity raffle.
