About Gnocchi Festival

The Gnocchi Festival is the summer event that, in August, brings Acquanegra Cremonese together around a traditional dish: gnocchi. Three evenings of food stalls, live music, and dancing at the sports field, organized by the local Pro Loco. Featuring DJ sets, orchestras, and the flavors of Padanian cuisine, the festival is a classic of Cremona's village festivals, simple and genuine, which every summer attracts residents and visitors from the surrounding areas in the Province of Cremona.

The Gnocchi Festival

In Acquanegra Cremonese, a small municipality in the Province of Cremona on the Po Valley plain, the Gnocchi Festival is the gastronomic event of the summer. Organized every year by the Pro Loco, it celebrates one of the iconic dishes of home cooking with three evenings of celebration at the town's sports field.

Food, Music, and Dancing

The festival's formula is the tried-and-tested one of Padanian village festivals:

  • Food stalls with traditional gnocchi and other specialties
  • Bar and refreshment points
  • Three evenings of live music, with orchestras and DJ sets
  • Dancing and moments of conviviality

A Village Tradition

The Gnocchi Festival is an event rooted in the life of Acquanegra Cremonese: Pro Loco volunteers liven up the evenings, the community gathers around the tables, and the festival becomes an occasion for meeting in the heart of summer. Among the Pro Loco's activitiesโ€”which also organizes the Canti della Merla, Carnival, and Giugno in Piazzaโ€”the gnocchi festival best tells the story of the bond between the town and its simple, authentic cuisine.

Gnocchi Festival โ€” edition 2026
