Creula Fest

A festival that unites sports, music, and community

The Creula Fest is a popular event that brings the Silvestro Curotti municipal stadium in Domodossola to life for three days. As the main town of the Ossola Valley in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, located in the far north of Piedmont, it provides the perfect backdrop. Originally centered around youth football, the event has evolved into a multidisciplinary gathering that combines sports competitions, musical evenings, and delicious food, all within an informal, family-friendly atmosphere that attracts sports fans and visitors from across the valley.

Sports for all ages

The heart of the festival remains the youth football tournament, a classic staple of past editions that fills the Curotti pitch with young teams. A major highlight in recent years is the beach volleyball tournament, which brings sand and rackets to the city's large sports complex. The recently renovated Curotti stadium, also known as the "City of Sport," offers the ideal setting for such events.

Live music and DJ sets

Evenings at Creula Fest are dedicated to music. The program features local DJs and bands, turning the stadium grounds into a vibrant meeting point after sunset. These performances provide the perfect soundtrack for the festival's social side, with a diverse crowd gathering for dinner and staying late into the night.

Festival cuisine

Throughout the event, the kitchen is open for both lunch and dinner, serving specialties prepared by the festival's chefs. Among the most popular dishes are grilled pork ribs and pizza, keeping with the tradition of Ossola village festivals where dining is an essential part of the fun. The goal is to combine quality with conviviality, offering simple and authentic catering.

Domodossola and the Ossola Valley

Nestled at the foot of the Alps and just a few kilometers from the Swiss border, Domodossola is the gateway to the Ossola Valley and a historic crossroads between Italy and Central Europe, easily reached by train via the Simplon line. A festival like Creula Fest perfectly captures the spirit of this mountain region: united communities, a passion for sports, and simple, tasty cuisine.
