About Fermento Festival

Three days, three stages and thirty live performances: every summer, Fermento Festival transforms Urgnano Castle into a large space for music, art and culture. With concerts, street food, a vintage market, exhibitions and activities for children, the event from Bergamo has surpassed 50,000 attendees in recent editions, establishing itself as one of the most popular free events in the province of Bergamo. A multidisciplinary, free-entry festival that combines quality entertainment and local area enhancement.

A widespread festival around Urgnano Castle

Fermento Festival is the major summer event in Urgnano, a municipality in the province of Bergamo, which every year enlivens the village around its Castle and Piazza Libertà. Originally a music event, it has grown to become a multidisciplinary review capable of attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all over Lombardy.

Three days, three stages, thirty shows

The festival's formula revolves around three days, three stages, and about thirty live performances: concerts by emerging artists and special guests alternate from afternoon until late at night, in a packed and varied program. Alongside the music, the festival offers street food, a well-stocked vintage market, exhibitions, cultural and artistic moments, and numerous activities designed for children and families.

Bergamo cuisine and community spirit

Among the food stalls, traditional Bergamo cuisine has ample space, alongside contemporary street food offerings. The completely free entry and the scenic setting of the Castle make Fermento Festival a popular and family-friendly event, capable of uniting different generations. With over 50,000 attendees recorded in recent editions, the event confirms itself as one of the most followed summer events in the Bergamo area.
