Beer Festival – Full Speed Ahead! GAU

Struppa's Summer Festival

Full Speed Ahead! is the beer festival that the G.A.U. Association organizes every summer in Struppa, a village in the upper Val Bisagno, in Genoa. The event takes place in Piazza Giuliano Suppini, the heart of the neighborhood, and is aimed primarily at the young people of the valley, while remaining a festival open to all ages.

Beer, Food, and Music

The formula is the tried-and-tested one for summer village festivals: draft beer, street food, live music, and DJ sets. The square fills with tables and people in an informal and convivial atmosphere, where people gather to dine outdoors and dance on warm July evenings.

The Spirit of G.A.U.

The G.A.U. Association is an organization rooted in the middle and upper Val Bisagno, organizing numerous events that liven up the area throughout the year, from Carnival to summer festivals. Full Speed Ahead! often coincides with the association's anniversary celebrations, thus becoming a moment of celebration for the volunteers and the community revolving around G.A.U.

An Evening for the Valley

In a territory like Val Bisagno, where opportunities for gathering have particular value, Full Speed Ahead! represents one of the most anticipated events of the summer, capable of attracting young people and families from Genoa to one of its most authentic valleys.
