The Bavarian festival of Campocavallo di Osimo, with draft beer, German cuisine, and live music
The Campocavallo Beer Festival is one of the most beloved late-summer events in the Municipality of Osimo, in the province of Ancona. Every year, at the beginning of September, the hamlet of Campocavallo dresses up for a party and welcomes thousands of visitors along Via del Covo, where the large festival area is set up to recreate the typical atmosphere of German beer festivals, a sort of miniature Oktoberfest in the heart of the Marche.
The heart of the event is, of course, the beer: Spaten and Löwenbräu draft beers are served, offered in numerous varieties, with a preview of Oktoberfest. Accompanying them is a cuisine that blends Bavarian tradition and Marche flavors: spätzle with butter and speck, pork knuckle with sauerkraut, würstel, goulash, and pretzels coexist with local specialties such as grilled meats and pasta with wild boar ragù. Service is divided between a self-service area with over 800 seats, both covered and uncovered, and a biergarten with bookable table service.
Every evening is enlivened by live music, with orchestras and bands that get the audience dancing and singing late into the night. There are also popular games and an area dedicated to children, with a play space and entertainment every evening, confirming the family-friendly and popular nature of the festival. Admission is free and open, with no obligation to purchase, making the event accessible to all.
Born to promote the conviviality of the Campocavallo community, the Beer Festival has become over the years a reference point in the calendar of Osimo's festivals and fairs and for the entire province of Ancona. Included among the official festivals and fairs of the Municipality of Osimo, it attracts visitors from all over the Marche thanks to the combination of good beer, genuine cuisine, and a warm festive atmosphere.
The 2026 edition of the Campocavallo Beer Festival is confirmed in the official calendar of festivals and fairs of the Municipality of Osimo for September 4, 5, and 6, 2026, in the festival area of Via del Covo, in Campocavallo (AN).
As tradition dictates, the evenings will feature Spaten and Löwenbräu draft beers in numerous varieties, a cuisine that combines Bavarian specialties and typical Marche dishes, the self-service area with over 800 seats, and the biergarten with bookable table service.
