Birre in Festa
Two weekends of craft beer, food, and concerts at Parco Pastore
About Beer Festival
The Castiglione beer festival
Birre in Festa is the summer event that in Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN) combines a passion for craft beer, good food, and music. The festival takes place at Parco Pastore and is organized by the Te sé de Castiù (TSDC) association, a volunteer group that has been enlivening the social life of this town in the Alto Mantovano region for years.
Craft beer and food
The heart of the festival is the tasting of craft beer: all evenings feature the products of the Inesistente and Stratos breweries, alongside a rich food stand with specialties to enjoy outdoors, including spit-roasted meats on festival Saturdays. A offering designed for enthusiasts and those looking for an evening out with friends.
Live music and solidarity
Each evening is accompanied by live music, with bands and tribute groups enlivening Parco Pastore. But Birre in Festa is also an event with a strong charitable spirit: the proceeds from the festival are destined for social projects supporting local families in need, in line with the organizing association's mission.
An anticipated event
With its two-weekend format, Birre in Festa has become one of the most beloved events of the Castiglione summer. Free admission, a convivial atmosphere, and a calendar of evenings filled with beer, food, and concerts make this festival a reference point for the community of Castiglione delle Stiviere and surrounding towns.
