About Ferrock Festival
The festival of the Ferrovieri district
The Ferrock Festival is one of the historic events on the alternative music scene in Vicenza. It takes place at Parco Retrone, in the Ferrovieri district, surrounded by greenery along the river, and offers four days of live music, street food, and markets in a festive and participatory atmosphere.
Reggae, dub and ska
The soul of the festival is reggae, dub, and ska music, with soundsystems, big bands, and collaborations that extend to jazz. The evenings focus on deep basslines, powerful frequencies, and "positive vibrations," in line with the best tradition of the genre in Italy.
A continuing story
After a long hiatus, the event has returned to make Parco Retrone resonate with music, confirming its connection with the Ferrovieri district and the city of Vicenza. Admission is generally free or by symbolic contribution, with an organization that relies on volunteering and the local community.
