Ferragosto Festival of Osio Sopra
Casoncelli, orchestras, and musical evenings for the Bergamasco Ferragosto
About Ferragosto Festival
Ferragosto: A Feast for the Palate and the Ears
The Ferragosto Festival is the main summer celebration in Osio Sopra, a town in the plains of the Bergamo province. The event spans several weeks around August and combines two key elements: traditional cuisine and musical evenings with dance orchestras. It's a classic village festival where the community comes together around food and the dance floor.
The Gran Galà del Casoncello
The most anticipated culinary highlight is the Gran Galà del Casoncello, dedicated to casoncello, the filled pasta that is one of the signature dishes of Bergamasco cuisine. The festival thus celebrates a dish that is emblematic of the region, offered during the food and wine evenings that mark the festival's calendar.
Musical Evenings and Dancing
Alongside the food, the musical evenings with dance orchestras are the other pillar of the festival: live music accompanies dinners and enlivens summer evenings, continuing a deeply rooted tradition of popular celebration in the Bassa bergamasca.
A Long-Standing Village Festival
The Ferragosto Festival is a recurring event on Osio Sopra's summer calendar, with past editions sometimes extending over several weeks in August. It remains one of the most cherished community gatherings for the town and its neighboring villages in the province of Bergamo.
