Loreo Bread Festival
The bread of Loreo and panbiscotto take centre stage in the waterside village of the Po Delta
About Bread Festival
The bread that tells the story of Loreo
The Loreo Bread Festival is the celebration that, every June, puts a symbol of the village at its centre: panbiscotto, the traditional twice-baked bread of Loreo, whose origins are lost in local historical memory. We are in Loreo, in the province of Rovigo, in the heart of the Veneto Po Delta Regional Park, a historic waterside village crossed by canals.
Between rural tradition and tastings
The festival celebrates the master bakers and the culture of bread with a program that combines:
- re-enactments of rural life, such as the wheat threshing in the square;
- tastings and food stalls along Via Roma;
- markets and cultural moments;
- concerts, performances, and side events.
A festival of the Po Delta
Organised by the Pro Loco of Loreo in synergy with the Municipality, the Bread Festival is an eagerly awaited event on the Polesine calendar, often accompanied by the food and wine event "Terra e Mare" (Land and Sea). Experiencing the festival means discovering the soul of a waterside village and a gastronomic tradition rooted in the rural civilisation of the Delta.
Bread Festival — edition 2026
For 2026, the 25th edition of the Loreo Bread Festival is expected, generally held around the third Sunday of June. The festival's structure is confirmed: panbiscotto at the centre, re-enactments of rural life such as threshing, tastings, markets, and cultural and musical events in the waterside village of the Po Delta.
