About Festa dei Bisi

In Peseggia, a hamlet of Scorzè (province of Venice), spring has the flavour of 'bisi', peas. For over fifty years, the Festa dei Bisi has celebrated the Peseggia De.Co. pea — the pea with Municipal Designation — the absolute star of the food stand with its symbolic dish: 'risi e bisi'. For over a week, between late May and early June, the festival offers dancing evenings with orchestras, shows for children, sports events, exhibitions, a funfair, a charity raffle, and the 'Corsa dei Bisi' (Pea Race). A great community festival organised by Pro Loco Scorzè and the Comitato Festa dei Bisi.

The pea of Peseggia, a municipal designation

In Peseggia, a hamlet of Scorzè in the province of Venice, the pea is no ordinary vegetable: the Biso De.Co. (Denominazione Comunale - Municipal Designation) is an identity product, linked to the agricultural tradition of the area. The Festa dei Bisi, founded in the early seventies, is its most heartfelt celebration and in 2026 will reach its 54th edition.

'Risi e bisi' and the food stand

The heart of the event is the food stand, where the Peseggia pea becomes the star of the symbolic dish of Venetian cuisine: 'risi e bisi'. Alongside, grilled meats, parmigiana, desserts, and local wines, for a offering that draws visitors from all over the Miranese area and beyond.

Not just gastronomy

  • Dancing evenings with orchestra and live music
  • Shows and entertainment for children
  • Sports events and exhibitions
  • Funfair for young people and families
  • The 'Corsa dei Bisi', a non-competitive fun run in memory of Alberto Marassi

A community festival

The Festa dei Bisi is organised by Pro Loco Scorzè together with the Comitato Festa dei Bisi, with the involvement of the parishes of Gardigiano and Peseggia. It is, as the organisers define it, a moment of sharing and meeting between generations, one of the most anticipated by the community.
