Follibeer – The Folliconi Beer Festival
Four days of rock, beer, and food at the Santuario del Varallino in Galliate
About Follibeer
Follibeer, the Galliate Beer Festival
Every year in June, the Santuario del Varallino in Galliate, in the Province of Novara, becomes the beating heart of the town's most anticipated summer event: Follibeer, the beer festival organized by the legendary Folliconi. For four days, the area fills with music, the aroma of food, and rivers of beer, in a jovial and family-friendly atmosphere that attracts rock fans and foodies from all over Eastern Piedmont.
Rock, food, and plenty of beer
The Follibeer formula is tried and tested: pure live rock every night, communal dinners under the marquee, and parties that continue late into the night. The kitchen opens every evening with dishes designed to pair perfectly with your beer, while bands take the stage to keep the crowd dancing and singing. The opening Thursday is dedicated to Follirock, the event's signature evening, while the weekend is the highlight, packed with concerts and festivities.
A charity and community festival
Follibeer is more than just fun: it has always been an event with a strong charitable spirit. The proceeds from the festival, after costs, are donated to charity, reflecting the deep bond between the Folliconi and the Galliate community. Furthermore, on Sunday morning, the festival embraces sporting solidarity with the “Pedalando per Martino” bike ride, which starts at the Varallino and concludes with a communal lunch.
Where it takes place
The event is held in the area of the Santuario del Varallino, on Via Vulpiate in Galliate (NO), a spacious and well-equipped venue that has hosted the event for years. Galliate, a town in the Novara plains known for its Sforza Castle-Ricetto, hosts one of the most popular summer events in the region with Follibeer.
