About Cherry Festival

Amidst the vineyards and green hills of Zovon, a hamlet of Vo' in the Euganean Hills, the Cherry Festival celebrates the fruit that symbolizes the local spring. For two weekends in May, food stalls offer regional specialties and cherry-based desserts, while live music enlivens the village every evening. With a dedicated youth area for aperitifs, beer, and cocktails, it's the festival that tells the story of Zovon's connection to its land.

Zovon's Cherries

The Cherry Festival takes place in Zovon, a hamlet of the municipality of Vo' in the heart of the Euganean Hills, in the province of Padova. The event celebrates the cherry, a fruit that ripens precisely during the festival period and characterizes the hilly terrain of the area, nestled among vineyards and villages.

Taste and Tradition

At the food stalls, the cherry becomes the star of desserts and local specialties, alongside traditional Venetian dishes. The aroma of freshly picked cherries accompanies visitors on an authentic experience that combines flavors, landscape, and conviviality in the green Euganean Hills.

Music and Youth Area

Every evening, the festival features live music, while a dedicated youth area for aperitifs, beer, and cocktails opens at 7 PM. It's an event that brings generations together, transforming the small village of Zovon into a meeting point for the entire Euganean area.

A Community Festival

Promoted by the Municipality of Vo' and animated by local organizations, the Cherry Festival is a deeply rooted event that brings together residents and visitors each spring around Zovon's fruit and traditions.
