About Festival of the Peas
The Pea of Peseggia, a Communal Designation
In Peseggia, a hamlet of Scorzè in the province of Venice, the pea is no ordinary vegetable: the Biso De.Co. (Communal Designation) is an identity product, linked to the agricultural tradition of the area. The Festa dei Bisi, born in the early seventies, is its most heartfelt celebration and in 2026 will reach its 54th edition.
Risi e Bisi and the Food Stand
The heart of the event is the food stand, where the Peseggia pea becomes the star of the signature dish of Venetian cuisine: risi e bisi. Alongside, grilled meats, parmigiana, desserts, and local wines, offering a menu that attracts visitors from all over the Miranese area and beyond.
More Than Just Food
- Dancing evenings with orchestras and live music
- Shows and entertainment for children
- Sporting events and exhibitions
- Funfair for young people and families
- The Corsa dei Bisi, a non-competitive fun run named in memory of Alberto Marassi

A Community Celebration
The Festa dei Bisi is organized by Pro Loco Scorzè together with the Comitato Festa dei Bisi, with the involvement of the parishes of Gardigiano and Peseggia. It is, as the organizers define it, a moment of sharing and meeting between generations, one of the most anticipated by the community.
