Baccalà Festival
The November festival dedicated to cod Vicentina style in Borgoricco
About Baccalà Festival
Cod, the king of the Venetian table
The Baccalà Festival of Borgoricco, a town in the plain north of Padua in the Roman Graticolato area, is dedicated to one of the most beloved dishes of Venetian tradition. Cod, the rehydrated stockfish that has entered the cuisine of Veneto over the centuries from Northern Europe, is presented here in all its forms: whipped, Vicentina style, stewed, in salad, and fried, up to the most innovative interpretations.
Two weekends of taste
The event takes place over two weekends in November at the food stall in Viale Europa, the true beating heart of the festival. Alongside the food, the program includes artisan markets, live music, workshops, and guided tastings that tell the story and preparation techniques of cod.
A consolidated tradition
Organized with passion by the Associazione Festeggiamenti San Leonardo (Saint Leonard's Celebration Association), the Baccalà Festival has surpassed thirty editions, becoming a key event for lovers of good food in the Paduan autumn. An opportunity to rediscover an iconic Venetian dish in a convivial setting.
