Bogoni Festival – San Giorgio in Salici
Four days of tradition centered around snails in San Giorgio in Salici
About Bogoni Festival
The bogoni, heart of the festival
The Bogoni Festival is the village festival of San Giorgio in Salici, a hamlet in the Municipality of Sona, in the province of Verona. The name refers to bogoni, which are snails, a typical dish of local tradition that volunteers prepare weeks in advance and which represents the unmissable specialty of the festival. It is traditionally the last festival of the Municipality of Sona of the year and beautifully concludes the summer festival season.
Four days of celebration
The festival takes place over four evenings at the former parish sports field, with a food stand, musical evenings, and dancing for all ages. Alongside the bogoni, the stand offers other dishes from the Venetian tradition. The funfair, the charity raffle, and cultural initiatives complete a program designed for families and enthusiasts.
Tradition and community
Organized by the local committee with the patronage of the Municipality of Sona, the Bogoni Festival is much more than a gastronomic event: it is a moment of identity for the hamlet of San Giorgio in Salici, also linked to popular devotion and the traditions of the Pieve (parish church). The participation of volunteers and the affection of the community make it one of the most heartfelt festivals in the area.
