About Arquà in Festa

When the Palio dei Ochi draws to a close, 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 local youth. Free admission.

The town celebrates after the Middle Ages

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

The Library takes center stage

Among the guiding threads of the event is the municipal library, which offers a series of free appointments dedicated to historical memory, the valorization of the territory, and digital themes. Highlights include author meetings and the award ceremony for the "Racconta il tuo paese" photography contest, created with students from the first-grade 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 appointments, to offerings for children and families. Admission is free, confirming the popular and community-oriented nature of an event that beautifully concludes the most festive period of the year in Arquà.
