About AVIS Festival
The donors' festival in San Martino dall'Argine
The AVIS Festival is one of the most cherished summer events in San Martino dall'Argine, a municipality in the Oglio-Po area in the province of Mantua. Organized by the local section of AVIS, the association of voluntary blood donors, the festival combines a convivial atmosphere with solidarity, bringing the community together around the values of giving.
Mantuan flavours and cocktails
The festival area of Piazza Castello hosts food stalls with many specialties of Mantuan tradition and a cocktail corner. Table service begins at 7:30 PM, while on Sunday and Monday evenings, gnocco fritto, a symbol of Po Valley cuisine, takes centre stage.
Live music and dance floor
Each evening is accompanied by live music and a dance floor, with orchestras and bands ranging from traditional folk music to musical tributes. The simple and proven formula makes the AVIS Festival a meeting point for families and dance enthusiasts from the Oglio-Po region.
