About Festa Old Rugby Rovato

There's a summer festival in Rovato that smells of embers and friendship: it's the Festa del Rugby Rovato, organised by Old Rugby Rovato. For a few days in June, the Foro Boario becomes the kingdom of roast ox on the spit, accompanied by a wide selection of beers, good food and music. Born from the passion for local rugby, this sagra (traditional festival) has won over a loyal following over the years, attracted by the star dish - the famous roast ox on the spit - and the convivial atmosphere of a festival run by volunteers and with a team spirit. A summer event that combines sport, gastronomy and lots of fun in the heart of Franciacorta.

The Rovato rugby festival

In the Municipality of Rovato, in the province of Brescia, rugby is not just a sport: it's also a big summer festival. The Festa del Rugby Rovato, organised by Old Rugby Rovato (A.S.D. Rugby Rovato A.P.S.), is one of the most beloved events of the Rovato June, capable of attracting numerous visitors to the Foro Boario every year.

The absolute star of the event is the roast ox on the spit, the king dish of the festival, cooked according to tradition and served alongside a wide selection of beers and other delicacies. A generous gastronomic offering, designed to accompany the festive evenings.

Sport, taste and community

The festival originates from the local rugby world and retains its spirit: collaboration, energy, and a desire to be together. It is the club's volunteers who bring the event to life, transforming the Foro Boario into a large convivial space where you can enjoy roast ox, listen to music, and spend evenings in company.
