Country Beef Fess - Sagra di Campagna

A festival with a country flavour

Among the hamlets of Lonato del Garda, in the province of Brescia, is Campagna, which hosts a festival dedicated to grilled meat at the beginning of June: the Country Beef Fess. Three evenings with a rustic and convivial atmosphere, organized by the Parish of Lonato del Garda and Campagna, scheduled for 2026 from June 5th to 7th.

Beef is the star

As the name suggests, the star dish of the festival is grilled beef: cuts of meat cooked over embers and served at the festival's food stands. A offering that nods to the country atmosphere and attracts meat lovers from neighbouring towns, in a typical outdoor summer festival atmosphere of Lombardy.

Music for three nights

Alongside the food, the festival offers three evenings of live music and DJ sets: among the events, a DJ set by DJ Benda and a performance by the Periteria Party Band. Music accompanies the meals and extends the festivities into the evening, making the Campagna hamlet a meeting point for the entire duration of the event.

The spirit of hamlet festivals

The Country Beef Fess is one of many events that liven up the summer in the hamlets of Lonato del Garda. Events created by volunteers and parishes, capable of keeping community life alive in small centres and offering visitors to the Brescia area of Lake Garda an authentic experience, made of good food, music, and socialising.
