The beer festival at Parco del Sole in Corniano, Bibbiano
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.
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.
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.
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.
For its fifth edition, the Corniano Beer Fest confirms its winning formula at the Parco del Sole in Corniano, a hamlet of Bibbiano, from June 11 to 14, 2026. Four consecutive evenings with draft beer, the Pro Loco Bibbiano food stand, and a free concert every night, from classic rock to the final DJ set. This year's big new feature is the Luppolo Cup, a 4x4 green volleyball tournament organized with Gazze Volley, taking place in the park over the weekend.
