About Festa del Cacciatore

In mid-June, Nuvolera, a municipality in the province of Brescia, hosts the Festa del Cacciatore, a village festival that celebrates the hunting tradition of the area. For three days, from Friday to Sunday, the cuisine of game and typical Brescian dishes meets evenings of music and outdoor conviviality. It is one of the most heartfelt summer festivals in the town, an occasion to gather with friends and families around the flavours of local tradition.

A festival with a taste of tradition

The Festa del Cacciatore in Nuvolera, in the province of Brescia, is the early summer festival that recalls the long hunting tradition of the pre-Alpine area. Organised by hunters and volunteers from the village, it enlivens the festival grounds for three days with food stalls, musical evenings, and convivial moments.

Game cuisine

The heart of the event is the table: traditional Brescian dishes and game specialties are the stars of the evenings, along with typical local preparations. A rustic and generous cuisine that tells of the historical bond between the Nuvolera community and the surrounding hilly and wooded environment.

Summer music and conviviality

Alongside the gastronomy, the festival offers evenings of music and entertainment under the stars, in a convivial atmosphere open to all. Together with the AVIS festival in July and other village festivals, the Festa del Cacciatore is one of the events that mark the summer in Nuvolera, at the foot of the Valle Sabbia.
