About ArtigianAle!
ArtigianAle!, the beer festival of Civitella di Romagna
ArtigianAle! is the Craft Beer Festival of the Municipality of Civitella di Romagna, a small town in the Bidente Valley in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in Emilia-Romagna. Now in its sixteenth edition, the event attracts enthusiasts and curious visitors every summer to the heart of the town, where the squares and alleys of the historic center fill with stalls, taps, and the aromas of Romagna cuisine.
Where and When
The festival takes place in the historic center of Civitella di Romagna, in the area between Piazza Matteotti and the evocative Civic Tower. For the 2026 edition, the event is scheduled for Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29: it starts on Friday from 6:00 PM until midnight, while on Saturday the program extends from the afternoon (from 3:00 PM) until 2:00 AM.
Breweries and Gastronomy
The heart of the event is the craft beers from local breweries. The 2026 edition features La Mata from Solarolo, BiFOR from Forlì, and Mazapégul from Civitella di Romagna itself. Accompanying the beer tastings is delicious Romagna cuisine, with stalls managed by local businesses such as the agriturismo Campo Rosso, the osteria pizzeria Da Piseppo, Il Chiosco di Ivana e Filippo, Macelleria da Romana, and the Pro Loco of Civitella di Romagna.
Live Music and Vespinbirra
The evenings are marked by live music: on Friday, the band Margò 80 takes the stage, while on Saturday, Magic Queen and Vinili di Dj Holly alternate. Among the new features is «Vespinbirra», a rally for the iconic Piaggio Vespa in all its forms: the meeting point is on Saturday at 3:00 PM in Piazza XXV Aprile for registration, followed by a tour in the Romagna hills.
A Festival for Everyone
ArtigianAle! is designed as a village festival for everyone: inflatables are set up for the little ones, while the convivial atmosphere and free admission make it an ideal stop to discover the hospitality of inland Romagna. The event also maintains a charitable dimension, with initiatives to support the local area.
