About Festa del Bollito e Pearà

The Festa del Bollito e Pearà is the autumn gastronomic event in Bussolengo (VR), part of the Bussolengo d'Autunno festival. At the Sala Polivalente Ex Bocciodromo, between late October and early November, the most beloved dish of Veronese tradition takes centre stage: mixed boiled meat served with pearà sauce. With convivial evenings, folk entertainment, and a kids' area, it's a celebration of taste that honours the region's cuisine.

Mixed boiled meat takes centre stage

As autumn gets into full swing in Bussolengo, in the province of Verona, it's time for the Festa del Bollito e Pearà, one of the most delicious events of the Bussolengo d'Autunno festival. At the Sala Polivalente Ex Bocciodromo on Via San Vittore, the star dish of the Veronese table takes centre stage: mixed boiled meat served with pearà, the famous sauce made from bread, marrow, and pepper.

A regional specialty

Pearà is one of the symbols of Veronese cuisine, and in Bussolengo, it's prepared according to tradition. The mixed boiled meat, with its various cuts, is the perfect comfort food for cool autumn evenings. The festival is open on Thursdays and Fridays only for dinner, and on Saturdays and Sundays also for lunch, to satisfy all palates.

Conviviality and tradition

In addition to great food, the festival offers folk entertainment, special guests, and a kids' area with games, all in a convivial and family-friendly atmosphere. Organized by the association Le Virtù Veronesi with the support of local sponsors, it's an event that celebrates the gastronomic identity of Bussolengo and the Veronese region.
