Beer Festival

The Mandello Vitta Beer Festival

In the heart of the Bassa Novarese, the small town of Mandello Vitta transforms for two evenings into the local capital of beer and conviviality. The Beer Festival, organized by the Mandello in Piazza association, has become a highly anticipated date on the town's summer calendar, drawing residents and visitors from the surrounding villages in the province of Novara, Piedmont.

Bavarian specialties and flowing beer

The common thread of the event is the great gastronomic tradition of Bavaria, served generously under the festival tent. The menu features the most beloved Oktoberfest dishes:

• Pork shank roasted to perfection
• Sausages grilled in various styles
• Warm and fragrant pretzels
• Spätzle, the traditional soft egg noodles

Naturally, these dishes are accompanied by plenty of draft beer, the absolute star of a festival that makes conviviality its hallmark. The kitchen opens at 8:00 PM each evening.

Live music in the square

Beyond the gastronomy, the Beer Festival focuses heavily on musical entertainment. Each evening is brought to life by live concerts that turn the square into an open-air dance floor: past headliners include Yoko Beach Club and Club 80, with repertoires designed to please all generations and keep the crowd dancing until late at night.

A local festival to experience

More than just a food event, the Beer Festival is a moment of connection for the Mandello Vitta community. The atmosphere is that of a genuine Piedmontese village festival, where the hard work of the Mandello in Piazza volunteers translates into two evenings of joy, good food, and music accessible to everyone. It is a perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the province of Novara, far from the typical tourist circuits.
