The Ferragosto festival with Lodi flavours, music, and fireworks
The Ferragosto Sanrocchino is the summer event that enlivens San Rocco al Porto, a municipality in the province of Lodi located along the Po river, opposite Piacenza. For several evenings around August 15th, the park in Via Leonardo da Vinci becomes the heart of the celebration, featuring food, music, and tradition.
The food stalls, open every evening from 7:30 PM, offer dishes from local and Po Valley cuisine: pisarei e faso', tortelli, gnocco fritto, as well as gluten-free options and other specialities. A generous table that tells the story of the meeting between the Lodi and Piacenza traditions of this stretch of plain along the river.
The programme alternates evenings of music and dancing with concerts and orchestras, leading up to the highlight: the fireworks display which, on Ferragosto evening, lights up the sky over the Po. Entry is free, and the festival draws crowds from all over the region, fostering a convivial atmosphere typical of large summer festivals.
Ferragosto Sanrocchino 2026 is scheduled for August at the Parco di Via Leonardo da Vinci in San Rocco al Porto. The event confirms its established format: several evenings with food stalls open from 7:30 PM (pisarei e faso', tortelli, gnocco fritto, and other specialities), music and dancing, culminating in the fireworks display over the Po on Ferragosto night. Precise dates will be announced closer to the event.

Parco di Via Leonardo da Vinci, San Rocco al Porto (LO), on the Po river opposite Piacenza. Reachable by car from the A1 motorway and the Via Emilia.
Several evenings around Ferragosto (August). Food stalls open from 7:30 PM.
