Ciliegia in Festa
The Marostica IGP Cherry festival in Colceresa
About Ciliegia in Festa
The cherry takes centre stage in Colceresa
Ciliegia in Festa is the event that celebrates the Marostica IGP Cherry, the excellence that identifies the hills of Colceresa, a municipality in the province of Vicenza born from the merger of Molvena and Mason Vicentino. The festival takes place in early June, during the harvest season, when the red fruit appears on the stalls and tables of the region.
A widespread event across the hamlets
The event spans several days and involves various locations within the municipality: gastronomic evenings are complemented by cultural moments, conferences, and theatrical performances, culminating in the large Sunday market in the centre, featuring hobbyists, agricultural entrepreneurs, and food sector operators. It's 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 to learn more about cherry cultivation and local traditions. The festival represents the culmination of a season that begins in Colceresa in spring with the bloom celebrated by the Cherry Blossom Walk (Marcia del Ciliegio in Fiore).
