Beer, food and evenings under the barchesse of Palazzo Papafava in Arre
The Beer Festival in Corte Papafava is one of the most cherished events of the summer in Arre, a small municipality in the Bassa Padovana area, in the province of Padua, in the heart of the Conselvano region. The event takes place under the charming barchesse of Palazzo Papafava on Via Valli, a historic setting that gives the festival a unique charm, far from the hustle and bustle of big city events.
The festival is organized by Pro Loco Arre APS, which mobilizes dozens of volunteers each year to bring two weekends of outdoor evenings to life. The gastronomic stand opens at 7:00 PM with table service: a formula that has made the Beer Festival a meeting point for families, young people, and residents of the surrounding towns in the Padua area.
The star of the show is, of course, the draft beer, accompanied by pizza and traditional Venetian popular cuisine dishes. The evenings are enlivened by live music, while during the festival days, there is also a vintage tractor exhibition, model displays, and a market dedicated to local products and crafts. It's the perfect opportunity to experience the authenticity of a rural Veneto village, with genuine flavors and rural traditions.
The Beer Festival in Corte Papafava 2026 in Arre is spread over two weekends: from May 29 to June 2 and from June 5 to 7, coinciding with the subsequent Wheat Festival on June 13-14. Under the barchesse of Palazzo Papafava, on Via Valli, the gastronomic stand opens every evening from 7:00 PM with table service, offering draft beer, pizza, and traditional dishes. The evenings are accompanied by live music, while during the festival days, you can visit the vintage tractor exhibition, model displays, and the local product market. The event is organized by Pro Loco Arre APS.
