About Festa dell'Unità

Between July and August, Botticino experiences its traditional Festa dell'Unità: weeks of food stalls, music, dancing, and debates that liven up the summer evenings of the town, in the province of Brescia. It is one of the most deeply rooted popular festivals of the Italian summer, a community event where good food intertwines with moments of meeting and socialising. Outdoor tables, traditional dishes, and entertainment evenings for all ages make this festival a beloved meeting point for the inhabitants of the Brescian area.

A tradition of the Italian summer

The Festa dell'Unità di Botticino is one of the classic summer festivals that liven up the Municipality of Botticino, in the province of Brescia. Heir to a long popular tradition spread throughout Italy, the festival takes place over several weeks between July and August and represents one of the main aggregation moments of the local summer.

Cuisine, music, and conviviality

The heart of the event is the food stall, where traditional dishes are served in a large area with outdoor tables. The evenings are accompanied by:

  • live music and dancing evenings;
  • entertainment and animation for all ages;
  • moments of debate and meeting on current issues.

A community festival

More than just a gastronomic event, the Festa dell'Unità is an occasion that unites the community: a place to meet on warm summer evenings, dine together, listen to music, and discuss. The long duration of the festival allows you to choose from many different evenings, each with its own entertainment offering.
