About Corniano Beer Fest

Four evenings of beer, live music, and good company at Parco del Sole in Corniano, a hamlet of Bibbiano, in the heart of the province of Reggio Emilia. The Corniano Beer Fest, organized by Pro Loco Bibbiano, brings together well-poured taps, festival food, and free rock concerts under the early summer sky. A popular and rustic event, perfect for those seeking a genuine evening with friends, between a pint and a band playing loud.

The Corniano Beer Festival

The Corniano Beer Fest is the beer festival that enlivens the Parco del Sole in Corniano every June. Corniano is a small hamlet of Bibbiano, in the province of Reggio Emilia (Emilia-Romagna). Organized by the Pro Loco Bibbiano, the event has become in just a few editions one of the most anticipated events of the early Reggio Emilia summer: four consecutive evenings where the park fills with tables, beer taps, the aroma of grilled food, and live music.

Beer, Food, and Festival Atmosphere

The heart of the festival is simple and proven: draft beer, a kitchen that serves up the classics of Emilia's local festivals, and plenty of outdoor tables to sit at without rushing. The food stand and spaces are managed by Pro Loco volunteers, and admission to the concerts is free. It's the kind of village festival where you gather with friends, eat well, and stay out late listening to music.

Live Music Every Evening

Each evening features its own concert, with a lineup ranging from classic 1960s and 70s rock to the latest hits, culminating in a final DJ set. The Parco del Sole stage hosts local bands and groups in an informal and festive atmosphere that is the true hallmark of the Corniano Beer Fest.

A Festival for the Whole Town

Designed for families, young people, and beer enthusiasts, the event combines the tradition of a village festival with the desire to spend time together outdoors. Parco del Sole, overlooking the greenery along the stream, offers a spacious and welcoming area to host the public from Bibbiano and nearby towns in the Reggio Emilia plain. An event to mark on your calendar for anyone who loves authentic summer evenings, far from big events and close to the people.
