B_B Day (Borgorose Beer Day)

The Borgorose Beer Day, the Cicolano craft beer festival

The B_B Day, or Borgorose Beer Day, is a celebration of craft beer that brings the Villa Comunale of Borgorose to life every late July. Located in the province of Rieti, in the green heart of the Cicolano region, the town's public park fills up for three days with beer taps, delicious food, music, and families, making it a signature event of the Rieti summer.

Carrying on the legacy of Birra del Borgo Day

The event picks up the torch from the historic Birra del Borgo Day, the early-summer festival that for years drew thousands of enthusiasts to Borgorose to celebrate the famous local brewery. Reimagined with a stronger focus on community and local roots, the event is now organized with the support of the Municipality of Borgorose, the Lazio Region, and ATCL, highlighting the best of the Rieti brewing scene.

Breweries, flavor, and the local area

The stars of the show are the breweries of the Rieti area: alongside names like Collerosso and Birrificio Sabino, other local craft producers join in to showcase the vitality and quality of a brewing scene that has turned this corner of Lazio into a small beer kingdom. Tastings are paired with traditional local products and street food, ranging from classic dishes to gourmet specialties.

Music, entertainment, and families

B_B Day is about more than just beer: every evening, the Villa Comunale hosts live music and performances, with stages keeping the atmosphere lively until late. There is also a dedicated children's area with games and entertainment, as well as relaxing green spaces, making the festival suitable for all ages. Admission is free, in keeping with the popular and convivial spirit of the event.

An event to discover the Cicolano

Attending the Borgorose Beer Day is also a perfect opportunity to explore the Cicolano, a mountainous sub-region in the province of Rieti defined by its villages, nature, and traditions. Just a few kilometers from the border with Abruzzo, Borgorose welcomes visitors with its authentic village atmosphere and genuine hospitality, offering the best craft beers of Lazio alongside the flavors of the Central Apennines.
