Camagna in Festa

Camagna in Festa: summer in the squares of Monferrato

Camagna in Festa was established in 2026 as a new festival created by the Pro Loco of Camagna Monferrato to unite all the square events that bring the village to life throughout the summer under a single name. It is a widespread program that kicks off in mid-May and culminates in early August, spanning the warmest months with concerts, dance evenings, food and wine gatherings, and popular traditions. The event is managed by the Pro Loco, a historic local organization that is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary during these years and remains one of the most active associations in the entire Monferrato area.

Where it takes place: Camagna Monferrato

The heart of the festival is Piazza Lenti, in the center of Camagna Monferrato, a small municipality in the Province of Alessandria, in Piedmont. Nestled on the hills of the Casale Monferrato area and dominated by the dome of the parish church of Sant'Eusebio, the village offers the ideal setting for a village festival featuring long tables, live music, and open-air gatherings. In case of inclement weather, events are moved indoors to the Pro Loco hall.

The 2026 Program

The festival is divided into several events spread between late spring and summer. Among the highlights already announced:

• Saturday, June 6 – A day dedicated to traditional Piedmontese, French, and international music in Piazza Lenti: from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, a bal folk workshop for beginners and experienced dancers alike; at 7:30 PM, dinner in the square hosted by the Pro Loco; at 9:00 PM, a dance concert with Trio Brio. This evening is organized in collaboration with the Accademia Monferrato.
• Saturday, July 18 – Circovino Monferrato, a food, wine, music, and recreational event that combines wine, entertainment, and conviviality.
• August 1-2 – Feast of the Patron Saint Sant'Eusebio, the highlight of the festival featuring music, dinner in the square, and the village's traditional patronal celebrations.

Music, bal folk, and tradition

The common thread of Camagna in Festa is folk music: from the traditional Piedmontese and French repertoire to the international sounds of bal folk, and dance concerts that bring traditional melodies and steps back to the square. Alongside the music, the festival focuses on the table and typical products of Monferrato, with dinners and tastings that accompany every evening, involving local businesses and community organizations.

A summer for the whole village

More than just a single event, Camagna in Festa is the story of an entire summer of community: a widespread celebration that weaves together culture, gastronomy, and social life, designed to involve both residents and visitors and to showcase one of the most authentic corners of the Monferrato hills, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage viticultural landscape.
