The summer festival of the small village in the Savona hinterland
Giusvalla is a small municipality in the hinterland of Savona, in Liguria, nestled in the woods bordering Piedmont. Every summer, the village comes alive with Giusvalla in Festa, the sagra that brings the community together and welcomes visitors for several evenings of food and music.
The food stalls, run by volunteers, offer traditional Ligurian hinterland dishes, accompanied by local wines. Live music accompanies the evenings, transforming the sagra into a true village festival, where people gather outdoors on warm summer nights.
Participating in Giusvalla in Festa is also an opportunity to discover a less-visited corner of Liguria, characterized by nature, silence, and genuine hospitality. Giusvalla, with its location amidst the woods of the Savona hinterland, offers an authentic experience, far from the crowds of the coast.
Like many sagre in small Ligurian villages, this event is an expression of the community spirit that animates the town: an event created by volunteers, for gathering and welcoming outsiders, keeping alive a tradition of celebration that is renewed each year.
The 2026 edition of Giusvalla in Festa is scheduled for mid-July, following the tradition that places the sagra in the heart of summer. The precise dates will be announced by the organizers in the preceding weeks.
For several evenings, the centre of Giusvalla hosts food stalls with traditional Ligurian dishes and live music, in a village festival that brings together the community and visitors.
The 2026 dates and detailed program will be confirmed by the organizers.
Giusvalla is reached from the Savona hinterland, heading towards the border with Piedmont. The town centre is the heart of the event.
Free admission. Food stalls generally open from 7 PM. Dishes are paid for.
