Beer Festival

A village festival that kicks off summer in Pecetto

When late May arrives, Pecetto Torinese transforms. The Piazzale delle Ciliegie, the heart of this small town on the Turin hills famous throughout Piedmont for its cherries, fills up with long tables, beer taps, and the aromas of street food. It is the Beer Festival, one of the most anticipated events organized by the Pro Loco of Pecetto Torinese: two simple and genuine evenings designed to gather outdoors and officially welcome the warm season.

Draft beer, street food, and plenty of music

The formula is the winning one of the great Piedmontese village festivals: admission is completely free, beer flows from the taps, and the area's most popular food trucks liven up the square with their specialties. From gourmet sandwiches to savory cones, and from vegetarian options to baked desserts, it is an informal dinner under the stars that pleases both adults and children. DJ sets provide the soundtrack, turning the Piazzale delle Ciliegie into an open-air dance floor until late at night.

On the hills at the gates of Turin

Pecetto Torinese is located just a few kilometers from the Piedmontese capital, nestled in the greenery of the hills overlooking the city. Known as the "town of cherries," the village welcomes thousands of visitors every year who, between late May and early June, head up to the hills for its festivals: the Beer Festival opens the calendar, followed a few days later by the historic Cherry Festival. Attending means discovering an authentic corner of the Province of Turin, where the conviviality of the Pro Loco is still the true engine of community life.
