Christ Festival - Borgo Roma
The community festival of the Borgo Roma district in Verona
About Christ Festival
A neighborhood festival in the heart of Borgo Roma
The Christ Festival is one of the most cherished events in the Borgo Roma district, in the southern outskirts of Verona. It takes place in the parish park of Gesù Divino Lavoratore, a green space that for a few days transforms into the neighborhood's open-air living room: tables, lights, the smell of barbecue, and many people gathering after the winter.
What to expect
The heart of the festival is the food and wine stalls, with typical Veronese cuisine dishes served at popular prices, accompanied by bars and convivial spaces. Every evening there is live music and entertainment, while the park's open spaces welcome families and groups of friends in a relaxed and genuine atmosphere.
The spirit of the neighborhood
More than a tourist event, the Christ Festival is an occasion for neighborhood aggregation: organized by the parish community, it thrives on the volunteer work of residents and brings the entire Borgo Roma neighborhood together. For those who want to discover the popular and authentic Verona, far from the tourist circuits of the Arena and Piazza delle Erbe, it is an immersion into the neighborhood life of the Scaliger capital.
Christ Festival — edition 2026
From May 30 to June 2, 2026, the Borgo Roma district will celebrate its Christ Festival in the parish park of Gesù Divino Lavoratore.
