Bore Contadina

A festival dedicated to the farming world

Bore Contadina is the event that, every year, brings the rural world, agricultural traditions, and the conviviality that has always characterized this corner of the Parma Apennines back to the center of the village of Bore. We are in the heart of Val Ceno, in the province of Parma, where Bore climbs up to about 800 meters above sea level along the ancient 'Stradone di Genova', the road that once connected the plain to Liguria. It is in this setting of fortified rural villages, woods, and ridges that a simple, authentic day deeply connected to the land comes to life.

What you will find

The event transforms the town center into a widespread showcase of farming activities and knowledge. Strolling through the stalls, you can discover:

• floral products and plants, perfect for the spring season;
• local craft stalls, showcasing the work of local hands and trades;
• an exhibition of agricultural and gardening tools, bridging the memory of the past with tools for tending the vegetable garden and garden;
• local food and wine products, with tastings of typical seasonal specialties.

There are also refreshment points in the village bars and entertainment moments designed for children, making Bore Contadina an event suitable for the whole family.

Between the Taro and Ceno valleys

Bore is part of the Union of Municipalities of Valli Taro and Ceno, which promotes and coordinates the event together with local entities. The small municipality, with its hamlets like Metti and Pozzolo, preserves a heritage of rural traditions, trails, and typical Apennine products. Bore Contadina is also an opportunity to discover this mountainous area of Emilia-Romagna, far from the beaten paths, where rural culture is still alive and proudly told.

A simple and welcoming atmosphere

More than a large festival, Bore Contadina is a village feast with a genuine flavor: a welcoming atmosphere, tied to the traditions of the territory, where the slow rhythm of the Apennine villages meets the scents of the season. An ideal day for those seeking an authentic event, in contact with nature and the rural culture of the province of Parma.
