Fornace Beer Fest

Fornace Beer Fest: beer takes center stage in Borgosesia

The Fornace Beer Fest is the beer festival organized by the Comitato Carnevale Fornace in Borgosesia, a key town in the Valsesia valley in the Province of Vercelli, in the heart of Piedmont. For several nights, the event brings the Via Marconi Sports Hall square in the Fornace district to life, turning it into a large, convivial open-air space dedicated to beer, good food, and music.

A festival of the Fornace district

Promoted by the committee that also organizes the famous Carnival festivities in Borgosesia, the Fornace Beer Fest began as a neighborhood celebration and has grown over the years into a major attraction for the entire Valsesia area. The Fornace district provides the volunteers, the kitchen staff, and the hospitality, confirming the spirit of participation that defines the community life of Borgosesia.

Beer, food, and live music

The heart of the event is, naturally, the beer, served on tap throughout the evenings, accompanied by a food service offering pasta dishes and grilled specialties. Every night, the stage hosts live music, tribute bands, revival nights, and DJ sets: past editions have featured shows dedicated to Italian music, the greatest hits of the 90s and 2000s, and dance music, in a program designed to get audiences of all ages dancing and having fun.

Borgosesia and the Valsesia valley

Borgosesia, overlooking the Sesia river at the foot of Monte Rosa, is the gateway to the Valsesia valley and is known throughout Italy for its Carnival, one of the oldest and most popular in Piedmont. The Fornace Beer Fest is part of the town's rich summer calendar, celebrating the tradition of festivals and fairs in a region with strong community roots, framed by the alpine landscapes of the valley.

An experience to enjoy

With its informal and family-friendly atmosphere, the Fornace Beer Fest is designed for everyone: families, groups of friends, and beer lovers will find the perfect opportunity to spend the first evenings of summer outdoors, enjoying a pint, good food, and music until late. It is an event that perfectly captures the conviviality of Valsesia and the spirit of the Fornace district.
