Cherry Festival
The festival of the Marostica Cherry IGP in Colceresa
About Cherry Festival
The cherry takes center stage in Colceresa
Ciliegia in Festa is the event that celebrates the Marostica Cherry IGP, the excellence that identifies the hills of Colceresa, a municipality in the province of Vicenza born from the fusion of Molvena and Mason Vicentino. The festival takes place in early June, at the time of harvest, when the red fruit appears on the stalls and tables of the area.
A widespread event across the hamlets
The event is spread over several days and involves various locations within the Municipality: the gastronomic evening is accompanied by cultural moments, conferences, and theatrical performances, culminating in the large Sunday market in the center, with hobbyists, agricultural entrepreneurs, and food sector operators. It is a way to promote not only the product but the entire supply chain and the community that supports it.
Between taste, culture, and tradition
In addition to tasting cherries and local products, Ciliegia in Festa offers opportunities for in-depth study of cherry cultivation and local traditions. The festival represents the culmination of a season that in Colceresa begins in spring with the flowering celebrated by the Cherry Blossom March.
