DOP Mussel Festival

The DOP Mussel Festival 2025 confirmed Santa Giulia di Porto Tolle as the capital of the most prized bivalve of the Po Delta. For four evenings, the food stand offered the Scardovari DOP mussel in traditional delta recipes, while the covered dance floor and live music enlivened the celebration.

The event also served as an opportunity for international promotion of the territory: the Po Delta, a UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve, was able to share with visitors the value of a unique product and the deep connection between the community and the waters of the Sacca di Scardovari.

The 2025 edition was structured over four evenings with the usual format:

• Food stand with Scardovari DOP mussel, open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
• Sunday lunch by reservation
• Covered dance floor with live music and DJ sets
• Evening shows and entertainment
