Assumption Festival - Montorio Veronese
The Ferragosto feast of the hamlet of Montorio, east of Verona
About Assumption Festival
The Assumption Festival in Montorio
The Assumption Festival is the summer feast of the hamlet of Montorio Veronese, in the eastern part of Verona (district 8). Organized by the local parish around the Assumption on August 15th, it is one of the most deeply rooted Ferragosto events in the Veronese territory: in 2026, it will reach its 28th edition.
Traditional Cuisine
The heart of the festival are the food stalls, where Veronese culinary specialties are served: risotto al tastasal (with seasoned pork mince), pastissada de musso (braised donkey, an identity dish of the region), and many other typical dishes accompanied by local wines.
Music, Children, and Charity
Every evening, the festival offers live music, while for the little ones there are dedicated activities such as face painting and baby dance. There are also the charity raffle and the final tombola, traditional events that conclude the feast. Promoted entirely by parish volunteers, the Assumption Festival is a genuine opportunity to experience Veronese Ferragosto away from the tourist crowds, amidst the hills and villages east of the city.
