About Festa di inizio estate
The summer that begins in Villadose
The Festa di inizio estate is the event that opens the summer season in Villadose, a municipality in the province of Rovigo, in the heart of Polesine. It takes place in Piazza Corte Barchessa and represents a consolidated tradition, a meeting point for the community and visitors from the surrounding areas.
Artisans, taste, and music
The program includes stalls of local artisans and producers, a food area with regional specialties, live music, and street performances with stilt walkers and artists. There are also activities for families: inflatables, cotton candy, and face painting make the festival suitable for the little ones too.
