About Dreaming Party

The Dreaming Party is the evening of music, fun, and good food that enlivens Piazza Europa in Agazzano every year, on the first hills of the province of Piacenza. Organized by the Dreaming Agazzano group, the event serves as a festive eve for the historic Ascension Fair: food stands, attractions like the mechanical bull and strength performances, live music, and DJ sets transform the heart of the town into a great meeting point for families, young people, and locals.

A Night of Celebration in the Heart of Agazzano

The Dreaming Party is the event that kicks off the celebrations for the Ascension Fair in Agazzano, a small municipality in the Val Luretta in the province of Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna. Promoted by the Dreaming Agazzano group, the event brings an evening designed for all ages to Piazza Europa, featuring music, local flavors, and attractions that draw residents and visitors from nearby towns.

Music, Taste, and Fun in the Square

The square comes alive from late afternoon: food stands open with local specialties and street food offerings, while the public can try their hand at the mechanical bull and watch the strength performances that have always accompanied the festival. As evening falls, live music takes center stage, the pulsating heart of the evening, followed by entertainment and dancing that continue late into the night.

In recent editions, the Piazza Europa stage has hosted local bands and DJ sets, accompanied by draft beer, cocktails, and fair food classics like grilled sausage and French fries. An informal and convivial atmosphere, making the Dreaming Party one of the most anticipated evenings on the Agazzano calendar.

The Link with the Ascension Fair

The Dreaming Party is not an isolated event; it represents the eve of the Ascension Fair, a historic event in Agazzano held the following Sunday. The fair, now in its twenty-first edition, fills the town with stalls, craftspeople, local products, a funfair, vintage car and motorcycle exhibitions, and the traditional concert by the Carlo Vignola Band, a musical group from the town with over a century of history. The Saturday evening party thus serves as the ideal opening to an entire weekend of tradition and community.

  • A free event accessible to everyone, in the center of Agazzano
  • Live music, DJ sets, and entertainment until late at night
  • Food stands with Piacenza region specialties
  • Attractions for young people and families, such as the mechanical bull
