In Bocca al Luppolo

A beer festival at the foot of the Odescalchi Castle

In Bocca al Luppolo is the summer event that combines a passion for craft beer and high-quality grilled meat in the historic center of Bracciano, an elegant village overlooking the lake of the same name in the province of Rome, Lazio. The event takes place in Piazza Mazzini, known by locals as the Castle Square due to its proximity to the majestic Odescalchi Castle, a scenic backdrop that makes the event even more evocative as evening falls.

Local meats and craft beers

The heart of the festival lies in the food stalls set up by the volunteers of the Rione Monti: the stars are local meats prepared according to tradition, from grilled dishes to regional specialties, served alongside a selection of craft and farm-brewed beers. The marriage of hops and the genuine flavors of Lazio cuisine gives the event its name and defines its spirit: simple, authentic, and convivial.

• Grilled dishes and local meats cooked over embers
• Wide selection of craft beers on tap
• Open-air communal tables in the historic center
• Live music and DJ sets throughout the evenings

The Rione Monti, the soul of the neighborhood

In Bocca al Luppolo is organized by the Rione Monti Association, an organization that has been enlivening the social and cultural life of Bracciano since 1966 with a busy calendar of events throughout the year: from the Bracciano Carnival to the Passion of Christ, and from the Mushroom Festival to Castles and Chestnuts. In Bocca al Luppolo represents the most festive moment of the summer, attracting families, young people, and beer enthusiasts from Bracciano and neighboring towns.
