About Arquà in Festa

When the Palio dei Ochi lowers the curtain, Arquà Polesine doesn't stop celebrating. Arquà in Festa continues for a week in early June with music, shows, sports, culture, and entertainment for all ages. The municipal library is among the protagonists, with author meetings and a photography contest dedicated to the young people of the area. Free admission.

The town celebrates after the Middle Ages

In Arquà Polesine, in the province of Rovigo, the party doesn't end with the Palio dei Ochi. Arquà in Festa is the natural continuation of the great medieval reenactment: a week in early June in which the town center continues to come alive with music, shows, sports, culture, and entertainment for all age groups.

The Library as protagonist

Among the guiding threads of the event is the municipal library, which offers a series of free appointments dedicated to historical memory, the enhancement of the territory, and digital themes. Highlights include author meetings and the award ceremony for the "Racconta il tuo paese" (Tell your town) photography contest, created with students from the lower secondary schools of Arquà Polesine, accompanied by a photographic exhibition open to the public.

A program for the whole community

Arquà in Festa is designed as a widespread and inclusive celebration: from cultural events in the library to musical and sporting events, to offerings for children and families. Admission is free, confirming the popular and community-driven nature of an event that beautifully concludes the most festive period of the year in Arquà.
