Beer Music Festival of Cerredolo

A village festival that has become a tradition

The Beer Music Festival of Cerredolo is one of the most established summer events in the Reggiano Apennines. It takes place in the hamlet of Cerredolo, in the Municipality of Toano (province of Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna), in a green and shaded area called il Pioppeto, overlooking the Dolo river. Organized by the Pro Loco Cerredolo, the festival has grown edition after edition to become a benchmark for those who love live music and good beer, capable of attracting visitors from all over the Reggiano and Modenese mountains.

Craft beer and live music

The heart of the celebration is the combination of craft beer and free concerts. Bands and musical projects ranging from rock to blues, up to psychedelic sounds and seventies atmospheres alternate on the Pioppeto stage. Over the years, the festival has hosted emerging local bands and well-known names from the Reggiano and Emilian scene, alternating evenings dedicated to covers of great classics with original proposals. Alongside the stage, there are beer taps with a wide selection of beers and Pro Loco stalls.

The Pro Loco's cuisine

The gastronomic part is entirely handled by Pro Loco volunteers: every evening, starting from the late afternoon, the stalls offer piadine (flatbreads), sandwiches, Apennine specialties, and traditional Emilian dishes, to be enjoyed at outdoor tables. A cocktail bar, a market area, and play areas complete a convivial and family atmosphere, where people stop for dinner and stay until late at night listening to music.

A free event for everyone

The Beer Music Festival has free admission: anyone can participate in the evenings, listen to the concerts, and discover the hospitality of a small Apennine village. More than just a local festival, it is a celebration that unites volunteers, residents, and visitors, keeping alive the identity of Cerredolo and telling the authentic soul of the Toano mountains.
