About Festa della Comunità

For most of August, the Oratory of Villa d'Almè, in the province of Bergamo, becomes the beating heart of the town with the Festa della Comunità, organized by the parish. Under the marquee, dinner is served every evening with traditional Bergamascan dishes, from casoncelli to polenta taragna, while orchestras and dancing nights liven up the festival. Tombola (bingo), charity raffles, baby dance, and inflatables complete an event that has united entire generations for over forty years. A popular and family-friendly festival in the heart of the Brembana Valley.

A month-long festival

The Festa della Comunità is the major summer event in Villa d'Almè, a town at the entrance of the Brembana Valley, in the province of Bergamo. Organized by the parish, it takes place for most of August at the Oratory (entrance from via Polveriera) and represents one of the most cherished moments in the life of the town.

A table with tradition

The heart of the festival is the evening restaurant-pizzeria, set up under the marquee, where you can taste typical dishes of Bergamascan cuisine:

  • casoncelli alla bergamasca;
  • risotto and polenta taragna;
  • barbecued meats and fried fish specialties.

Music and fun

Alongside the food, the festival offers evenings with orchestras and dancing, tombola with prizes, charity raffles, baby dance, and inflatables for the little ones. A program designed to involve all ages, from children to the elderly.

Over forty years of community

Now in its fortieth edition, the Festa della Comunità is a well-established tradition that attracts residents and visitors from all over the Bergamo area every summer. Its strength lies in the volunteer work that supports it, a sign of a vibrant and welcoming community in the territory of the Lombardy Region.
