Dancers, costumes, and Far West atmospheres in the hamlet of Alpo
The Festa Country di Alpo is the Western-themed festival that enlivens the hamlet of Alpo, in Villafranca di Verona, on the second weekend of September. For a few days, around the Circolo Noi, the atmosphere becomes that of the American prairies: country dance dancers in costume arrive from all over Northern Italy to perform, in a festive atmosphere that involves enthusiasts and the curious.
The program combines country dance shows, equestrian performances, the setup of an Indian camp, and the election of Mister and Miss Country Alpo. At the tables, the food stalls offer specialties inspired by American cuisine, completing the immersion in the Far West imagery. It is a community-driven event, organized by the local community.
Organized by the Circolo ACLI of Alpo together with the Sagra Committee, the Festa Country is held every year and represents one of the most characteristic events in the calendar of the hamlets of Villafranca. Between music, dancing, and conviviality, it brings a piece of overseas folklore to the Veronese plain.
The 2026 edition of the Festa Country di Alpo will be held, according to tradition, on the second weekend of September at the Circolo Noi in Alpo, a hamlet of Villafranca di Verona. The costumed country dances, equestrian shows, Indian camp, election of Mister and Miss Country, and American-themed food stalls will return. The detailed program with precise dates and musical evenings will be published on the official Facebook page in the weeks leading up to the event.
