About Borgo Isola Festival

Four days of neighbourhood celebration in Borgo Isola, a hamlet of Cassola in the province of Vicenza. Originally a simple gathering for neighbours, the Borgo Isola Festival is now a deeply rooted event for the entire community: a food stand with Venetian specialities, a youth area, DJ sets, and a final concert by KANEVA Band. The 40th edition will be celebrated in 2026.

Forty Years of Neighbourhood Celebration

In Borgo Isola, a neighbourhood within the Municipality of Cassola in the province of Vicenza, the late May festival is much more than a simple village fair. Born in the eighties as a convivial gathering for neighbours, the Borgo Isola Festival has grown to become an eagerly awaited event for the entire community, and in 2026 it reaches its 40th edition.

Good Venetian Cuisine and Music

The heart of the festival is the food stand at the Neighbourhood House in via Portile, where every evening you can enjoy the great classics of Venetian cuisine: tripe alla parmigiana, baccalร  alla vicentina, gnocchi, tagliatelle, mixed grill, and for the anniversary, the new quail and rib spit roast. Alongside the dining area, the Youth Area, DJ sets, and live concerts transform the neighbourhood into a large intergenerational meeting point.

A Community-Made Festival

The event is organized by the Borgo Isola Neighbourhood Committee with the collaboration of Pro Loco and the Municipality of Cassola, with free admission. It is an example of how, in the Vicenza area, neighbourhood festivals remain a vibrant fabric of social life and volunteerism.
