Extra Evenings at the Oratory

Summer at the Oratory in Carvico

The Extra Evenings at the Oratory are the evening entertainment program that, every summer, accompanies the CRE season at the Don Bosco Oratory in Carvico, in the Province of Bergamo. For about three weeks, from the second half of June to the beginning of July, the oratory courtyard comes alive every evening with tournaments, games, music, and convivial moments open to the entire community.

A Program for All Ages

The common thread of the event is the desire to be together. The evenings alternate between sports tournaments (ping pong, foosball, challenges between CRE classes), themed nights like disco with karaoke or "dress to impress" nights, musical moments with concerts by local bands and young performers, and even exhibitions of baskin, the inclusive sport that allows everyone to play basketball together.

Communal Dinners

The gastronomic heart of the festival are the dinners at the oratory, spread over several evenings, with inflatables and games for the little ones in the park. Alongside the fun, there is also a commitment to solidarity, with initiatives like the dinner for Peru and the race against hunger, which give the festival a meaning that goes beyond simple entertainment.

The Spirit of Carvico

In Carvico, as in many towns in the Bergamasca region, the oratory has always been the main summer meeting point. The Extra Evenings are not a spectacular event designed for tourism, but an authentic village festival, made up of volunteers, animators, and families who liven up the courtyard until the evening. It is the perfect opportunity to breathe in the genuine atmosphere of Lombard community life, far from the most crowded destinations.
