The festival of the typical dish in the hamlet of Mazzano, in Valpolicella
The Bigoli Festival is the summer festival of the hamlet of Mazzano, in Negrar di Valpolicella, a municipality in the province of Verona in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The undisputed protagonist is a dish from the Veneto tradition: bigoli, a long, rough, and full-bodied pasta, ideal for holding sauces, here offered in many artisanal variations.
The festival takes place at the Mazzano Sports Center, with the food stand open in the evenings and all day on Sundays. In addition to bigoli with their various sauces, the festival offers evenings of music and dancing: ballroom orchestras, dance music, tributes to great Italian artists, Latin American evenings with dance schools, and theatrical performances. A popular and convivial formula that attracts families and visitors from all over the valley.
Now in its several editions, the Bigoli Festival is an event rooted in the life of the hamlet of Mazzano, organized by the local committee with the involvement of the entire community. Between a plate of bigoli and an evening on the dance floor, it's an opportunity to discover the hospitality and authentic flavors of Valpolicella.
The 2026 edition of the Bigoli Festival is expected, as tradition dictates, in July at the Mazzano Sports Center in Negrar di Valpolicella. The event will again feature artisanal bigoli with a wide selection of sauces, the food stand open in the evenings and all day Sunday, and evenings with orchestras, tributes, and dancing.
Program coming soon. The dates and detailed schedule of the 2026 evenings will be published on the festival's social media channels (Facebook 'Festa di Mazzano', Instagram '@sagradeibigoli') closer to the event.
Mazzano is a hamlet of Negrar di Valpolicella, reachable from Verona in about 25 minutes by car via the SP4 of Valpolicella. The festival takes place at the Mazzano Sports Center.
Free admission. Food stand open in the evening from 7 PM and all day Sunday. For the updated program, consult the festival's social media channels.
