Fonteno Festival

The summer festival in Fonteno

Fonteno in Festa is the most anticipated summer event in the Municipality of Fonteno, in the province of Bergamo, a small village nestled in the hills overlooking Lake Iseo. For several weekends in August, the sports field in via Zambonelli transforms into the centre of village life, welcoming residents and holidaymakers in an atmosphere of celebration, music, and good food.

Flavours of the Orobic tradition

The heart of the event is the typical cuisine, with dishes that tell the gastronomic identity of Fonteno. The stars are the ravioli and capù, the typical stuffed cabbage rolls of the Bergamo tradition, accompanied by grilled meats, cold dishes, and local specialities. There is also a beer stand, while inflatable games and dedicated play areas are set up for the little ones.

Music and conviviality every evening

Each evening of the festival is enlivened by live music, accompanying the dinners and creating the typical atmosphere of Lombardy village festivals. Fonteno in Festa is, above all, a moment of socialising and gathering for the community, an opportunity to spend time together on warm summer evenings and to welcome the many who choose this tranquil corner of Sebino for their holidays.

Fonteno is a small municipality in the province of Bergamo located on the plateau above Lake Iseo, in a panoramic position between the mountains and the water. The village festival highlights its authentic soul, made of gastronomic traditions, alpine landscapes, and human warmth. Visitors to the Sebino area of Bergamo will find a genuine experience here, far from mass tourism and close to the slow rhythm of mountain communities.
