About Horse Festival Legnaro

The Festa del Cavallo, also known as Legnaro LIVE, is the great gastronomic festival that enlivens Legnaro, in the province of Padua, between May and June: stands with horse meat specialties, a beer garden, equestrian shows, live music, and a funfair, in a free-entry popular festival organized by the Pro Loco.

The Legnaro Horse Festival

The Horse Festival, also known as Legnaro LIVE, is one of the most popular festivals in Legnaro, a municipality in the Saccisica area of the province of Padua. Organized by Pro Loco Legnaro, it is held in the Viale dello Sport area, at Park Università, and celebrates a gastronomic tradition rooted in the territory.

Horse Meat Specialties

The heart of the festival is the gastronomic stand with a rich menu based on horse meat: shredded meat, steaks, 'straecca' (a type of steak), and tasty sandwiches, accompanied by a well-stocked beer garden in front of the stage. A culinary experience that attracts enthusiasts from all over the province.

Music, Shows, and Funfair

The event features evenings of live music, dancing, equestrian shows, and a large funfair for children. With free admission and evening shows, the festival combines gastronomic tradition with the convivial atmosphere typical of Venetian village festivals.
