Hops Festival

A festival dedicated to beer in Mathi

The Hops Festival is one of the most beloved summer events in Mathi, a small town in the Valli di Lanzo, in the Province of Turin, Piedmont. For four days, Parco di Villa Bosso comes alive with food stalls, craft beer taps, music, and entertainment for all ages, drawing visitors from Mathi and the surrounding towns of the Canavese and Valli di Lanzo areas.

Craft beer and great food

The heart of the event is, of course, craft beer, the absolute star among taps, tastings, and food pairings. Alongside the beer mugs, there is plenty of food: from steaming paella to street food options, the culinary offerings accompany the festive evenings until late, in the convivial and familiar atmosphere typical of Piedmontese village festivals.

Music, color parties, and a Summer Carnival

Beyond the flavors, the Hops Festival focuses heavily on entertainment. The evenings are marked by live music and events designed for younger guests, such as the highly anticipated color party that fills the park with powder and joy. Among the most original offerings is the Summer Carnival, featuring spectacular taxi drift performances on two and four wheels that bring adrenaline and excitement to the audience.

Organization and community spirit

The festival is organized by the Pro Loco of Mathi, which every year puts together an event capable of uniting different generations and promoting the local area. Admission to the park is free, and the event is a wonderful opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Valli di Lanzo, amidst nature, tradition, and good beer.

When it takes place

The Hops Festival is held in June, featuring a long weekend of events at Parco di Villa Bosso in Mathi. It is an ideal destination for those looking for an informal evening of craft beer and music, just a few kilometers from Turin.
