Birracava — Festa della Birra di Cava Manara

Thirty Years of Beer Festival in Cava Manara

Birracava is the historic Beer Festival of Cava Manara, a municipality in the Oltrepò pavese region of the Province of Pavia. Organized by the Gruppo Animatori Cavese (G.A.C.), the event has reached its thirty-third edition, a testament to a consolidated tradition that has enlivened the summer evenings of the town for over three decades and attracts a loyal audience from the entire area.

Four Evenings of Live Music

The heart of the festival lies in its four evenings of concerts, with a program built around tribute bands and arena rock shows. The music ranges from the theme songs and hits of the eighties and nineties to tributes of great international rock bands, in a crescendo of energy that culminates on the weekend. The stage is the meeting point, but all around, the festival offers draft beer, food, and the typical convivial atmosphere of Padan village festivals.

Beer, Food, and Table Service

In addition to music, Birracava offers a wide gastronomic selection with local cuisine and abundant beer, served at numerous covered tables with table service. The festival area, equipped with free parking, is designed to welcome families, groups of friends, and live music enthusiasts in an informal and welcoming environment.

A Popular Festival of the Oltrepò

Birracava is much more than just a beer festival: it is an event of identity for Cava Manara and the entire Oltrepò pavese territory, an occasion for gathering that unites different generations in the name of music and conviviality. With free admission and organization by the Gruppo Animatori Cavese, it remains one of the most popular summer events in the Province of Pavia.
