About Durona Cherry Festival
The Cherry Symbol of Chiampo
In Chiampo, in the province of Vicenza, the Durona is much more than a cherry: it is the identity product of the valley, recognized as De.Co. (Municipal Designation). Every year, between late May and June, the Durona Cherry Festival celebrates this fruit with an event that draws visitors from all over the Vicenza area, centered in Piazza Giacomo Zanella.
Tastings, Market, and Gastronomy
The program combines Durona cherry tastings, a producers' market, a food stand, and moments dedicated to the local culture. There are also spectacular initiatives, such as the preparation of a giant tart, and artisan stalls that liven up the town center.
Sports and Entertainment
The festival also embraces sports with the Durona Bike, a mountain bike race that winds through the hills of the Chiampo Valley, and offers music, animation, and entertainment for all ages. A complete fair, one of the longest-running in the Veneto region, which combines agricultural promotion, gastronomy, culture, and sport. The event is organized by the Pro Loco Chiampo together with the Municipality of Chiampo.
