The summer of the "village of the Baù" with orchestras, mountain cuisine and the Baù Gathering
The Festa del Villeggiante is the big summer festival of Stoccareddo, a hamlet in the Municipality of Gallio on the Asiago Plateau Seven Municipalities (Altopiano dei Sette Comuni), in the province of Vicenza. The event spans several weeks, from July to August, under the village's large Palatenda (covered arena), and has reached over thirty editions, demonstrating its strong roots in the community.
The heart of the festival lies in its musical evenings featuring the best dance orchestras and the rich food stand, offering traditional mountain dishes. The programme is enhanced by sports tournaments (especially football), walks, lotteries, and entertainment for all ages, creating a festive atmosphere that lasts all summer long.
Among the most characteristic events is the Raduno dei Baù: Stoccareddo is indeed known as the "village of the Baù" because almost all its inhabitants have shared the same surname, Baù, for centuries. The gathering brings together many people who share this surname, in a curious and identity-focused event that tells the unique story of this alpine community. Organised by the Polisportiva Stoccareddo 2000, the Festa del Villeggiante is one of the most beloved summer festivals on the Asiago Plateau Seven Municipalities.
For 2026, the Festa del Villeggiante will once again animate Stoccareddo di Gallio between July and August, with a calendar of events spread over several weeks under the Palatenda. Based on previous editions, the programme includes musical evenings with the best dance orchestras, a rich food stand with traditional mountain dishes, sports tournaments, walks, lotteries, and the characteristic Raduno dei Baù.
The precise dates and detailed programme for 2026 will be published by Polisportiva Stoccareddo 2000 in the weeks preceding the event.
The detailed programme for 2026 has not yet been published. Based on recent editions, the festival takes place over several weeks between July and August under the Palatenda in Stoccareddo, featuring:
