Madonna della Strà Festival - Duck Festival

The 2025 edition of the Duck Festival upheld the tradition of the patronal feast in Belfiore, in the province of Verona. As every year, at the beginning of September, the community gathered in Piazza Carlo Lebrecht to honor the Madonna della Strà and for the grand popular celebration centered around the typical duck-based dishes.

The festival re-presented the successful combination of gastronomic evenings with live music and DJ sets, religious celebrations with Holy Mass at the Romanesque sanctuary, and the most spectacular moment of the festival: the final fireworks that recreate the burning of the bell tower. As is tradition, the organization was handled by Pro Loco Belfiore.

Typical structure of the edition, spread over several evenings in early September in Piazza Carlo Lebrecht:

• Duck-based food stalls from the evening, with bands, DJ sets, and themed evenings
• Acoustic aperitif in the late afternoon on festive days
• Concluding Monday: Holy Mass at the Sanctuary of the Madonna della Strà and final fireworks display
