Ten days of peasant tradition in the Val Bormida of Savona
In Plodio, a small municipality in the Val Bormida in the province of Savona, the Festa dell'Agricoltore is the summer event par excellence. Organised by the Pro Loco of Plodio, the event has celebrated the agricultural and peasant tradition of the area for decades, attracting visitors from all over the valley.
The festival unfolds over several evenings with food stalls and musical entertainment; Sundays also include lunch service. Among the most characteristic events is the tractor skills competition, an authentic attraction that recalls the town's connection with fieldwork.
The Festa dell'Agricoltore is a landmark of the summer in the Savona hinterland: a genuine village festival, capable of preserving the community spirit of peasant celebrations and enhancing the products and cuisine of the Val Bormida.
For 2026, the Festa dell'Agricoltore in Plodio is expected for its 56th edition, during the usual period between late July and early August. The event, organised by the Pro Loco, will again feature food stalls, evening musical entertainment, Sunday lunch service, and the traditional tractor skills competition. The detailed schedule will be published closer to the event.
The detailed 2026 program has not yet been published. The event typically includes:
By car: from the coast of Savona or Finale, head up towards the Val Bormida; Plodio is located near Carcare and Cengio. A6 motorway exit Altare-Carcare.
Free admission; food stalls are paid. Lunch service is also available on Sundays.
