Balzola Festival and Palio dei Cantoni

The 2025 edition of the Balzola Festival and Palio dei Cantoni confirmed the strong bond of the Balzola community (province of Alessandria, Piedmont) with its tradition. The town's districts — including Quadro, Villa Cascine, Giarone Borgoratto, Pozzarello, Villaveri, and Piazza Vignazza — competed in disciplines such as foosball, volleyball, table tennis, bocce, and 5-a-side football, with a leaderboard that was updated evening after evening.

Alongside the competitions, the festival offered gastronomic evenings, music, and entertainment for all ages, with the Pro Loco busy at the food and wine stand in the public gardens. An event of great popular participation, supported by the Municipal Administration, which renewed the pride of belonging of the Balzolesi.
