Bianzè Beer Festival

A popular festival in the heart of the Vercelli plains

The Bianzè Beer Festival is one of the most cherished summer events in the small town of Bianzè, in the Province of Vercelli, located in the heart of Piedmont's rice-growing plains. For over twenty years, this event has transformed the village into a grand open-air gathering spot: long tables, beer mugs, and the aroma of grilled food accompany five nights of celebration, capturing the genuine, convivial atmosphere that is the hallmark of Piedmontese village festivals.

Beer, food, and conviviality

The heart of the festival is, of course, the draft beer, served at the large stands set up for the occasion, accompanied by a menu that blends Piedmontese tradition with classic summer festival favorites. The stalls feature local dishes, grilled meats, sausage sandwiches, and street food specialties, designed to satisfy families, young people, and groups of friends late into the night.

Musical evenings

Every night, the festival offers live music and entertainment: dance orchestras, bands, and DJs bring the stage and dance floor to life, making the Beer Festival a perfect occasion to dance and socialize under the stars. It is this combination of good food, beer, and music that makes the event a classic of the Bianzè summer.

Bianzè in celebration

The Beer Festival is part of a particularly vibrant season for Bianzè: during the same period, the town also celebrates the Palio d'la Fosa, a historical re-enactment linked to the town's ancient spring, turning the village into a week-long hub of festivities, games, tournaments, and parades. For those visiting the area, it is also an opportunity to discover the Vercelli rice plains, its farmsteads, and its water-filled landscapes, located between Turin and the Lomellina region.

An event for the whole community

More than just a gastronomic event, the Bianzè Beer Festival is a moment of gathering for the entire community of the village and the neighboring towns of the Vercelli province. Free admission, affordable prices, and organization by local volunteers make it an authentic event that renews its success every year.
