The local festival of the young municipality on the outskirts of Turin
Mappano in Festa is the event that, in the heart of spring, transforms the center of Mappano into a large open-air community celebration. Located in the province of Turin, in the first belt north of the Piedmontese capital, this recently established municipality uses this event every year to rediscover its identity and the joy of being together.
For the occasion, the heart of the town is closed to traffic: Via Rivarolo and Strada Cuorgnè become a long pedestrian boulevard starting from Piazza Don Amerano, guiding visitors through stalls, hobbyists, and exhibitors. Local shops open their doors and bring their goods out onto the street, creating a large, widespread showcase that blends neighborhood commerce, craftsmanship, and local products.
The soul of the festival is made of music and dancing: along the route, musical spots, entertainment, and animation moments alternate to accompany the day until evening. There is no shortage of food and wine, with a wide range of food & drink options including stands, street food, and specialties to enjoy while strolling.
Mappano in Festa is an event designed for everyone, especially families: ample space is reserved for children's entertainment, with games and activities that make the day suitable for kids as well. Sporting initiatives and tournaments complete a program aimed at highlighting local associations and the participatory spirit of the area.
More than just a simple fair, Mappano in Festa represents a moment of community gathering for a town that was recently established as an autonomous municipality and strengthens its sense of belonging through this celebration. It is an opportunity to meet fellow citizens, welcome visitors from neighboring towns, and ignite, even if only for a day, the local spirit of this corner of Piedmont at the gates of Turin.
Admission to the event is free and it takes place entirely outdoors along the streets of Mappano's center. The festival is organized by the Municipality of Mappano through the Productive Activities Office, with the involvement of local merchants and associations.
