The craft beer festival with street food and music in Val Nure
Bettola & Beer is the event dedicated to craft beer that transforms the Campi Sportivi area of Bettola, in the province of Piacenza, into a large outdoor party space every spring. Set along the banks of the Nure river, in the heart of Val Nure, the festival offers a simple and winning formula: excellent beers, good street food, and lots of music, to be enjoyed with friends.
The heart of the event is the selection of local craft beers, expertly poured and designed to complement an ever-evolving street food selection. Alongside the draught beers, there are also signature cocktails for those looking for an alternative to a pint. The gastronomic offerings range from sandwiches to fried foods and snacks, perfect for enjoying outdoors in the pleasant weather.
The soundtrack to the evening accompanies the public from sunset until late at night: starting with live music in the early hours and continuing with DJ sets that keep participants dancing until the end of the night. The informal atmosphere and the natural setting along the Nure make Bettola & Beer a much-anticipated gathering for the young people of Val Nure and passing visitors.
Bettola is one of the key villages in Val Nure, a land of excursions, nature, and Piacenza's gastronomic tradition. The event, promoted as part of ViviBettola's initiatives to promote the area, is part of the rich calendar of festivals, fairs, and markets that animate the municipality during the warmer months. An opportunity to discover the village and the most authentic Emilia-Romagna, amidst green hills and local products.
