Brugneto in Festa
The summer village festival in the hamlet of Brugneto in Reggiolo
About Brugneto in Festa
A village festival in the heart of Bassa Reggiana
Brugneto in Festa is the event that every summer brings together the inhabitants of the hamlet of Brugneto, a small locality in the Municipality of Reggiolo, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Born from the initiative of the volunteer association Brugneto C'è, this festival represents one of the most heartfelt moments of the year for the local community: three evenings in which the Civic Center comes alive with food stands, music, shows, and a great desire to be together.
The flavors of Emilian tradition
The true protagonist of the festival is the food. The food stands generally open at 7:30 PM and offer a menu ranging from the great classics of Reggiano cuisine to the most popular dishes of village festivals. Among the usual offerings, you will find fried gnocco and tigelle, symbols of Emilian tradition, accompanied by cured meats and local specialties, but also meat menus, fish dishes, and the ever-welcome pizza. It is the genuine cuisine of Emilia-Romagna, served in a convivial atmosphere accessible to everyone.
Music, dancing, and dialect comedies
The evenings of Brugneto in Festa are marked by live entertainment: dancing evenings with DJs and animation, musical shows dedicated to the great tradition of Italian singer-songwriters, and the unmissable comedies in the Reggiano dialect, performed by local theater groups. It is a program designed for all ages, blending cheerfulness, popular tradition, and the authentic taste of a village festival.
The museum of peasant civilization
During the festival, you can visit the museum of peasant civilization in Brugneto, a collection of tools, objects, and testimonies of rural life from the past. A stop that adds cultural value to the event and allows you to discover the peasant roots of the Bassa Reggiana, a plain land between the Po River and the Gonzaga family.
A community that tells its story
More than just a gastronomic event, Brugneto in Festa is the way a small hamlet keeps its identity alive. In a region where village festivals still represent a fundamental social bond, the Brugneto event renews the link between generations each year and warmly welcomes visitors from the neighboring municipalities of Reggiolo and the entire Emilia-Romagna region.
