Gru-Gro Festival

In 2025, the Festa del Gru-Gro enlivened the Grole hamlet of Castiglione delle Stiviere (MN) for six evenings between August 28 and September 2, with stalls opening from 7:00 PM and Sunday lunch. The kitchen offered the usual land and sea specialties — fried food, fish, pizza, and traditional dishes — accompanied each evening by live music. As is tradition, the proceeds collected by the Gruppo Volontari Grole were allocated to the restoration of the hamlet's monuments and local volunteer work.
