Mood & Food – Street Food Festival

The street food festival of Valsamoggia

Mood & Food is the festival dedicated to street food that enlivens Crespellano every summer, one of the hamlets that make up the Municipality of Valsamoggia, in the province of Bologna, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Founded in 2022 on the initiative of the Pro Loco Crespellano, in just a few years the festival has become one of the most anticipated gastronomic events of the summer season in the Bolognese plain.

What to expect

Fabrizio De André Park transforms for three days into a large outdoor convivial space, where street food is the true protagonist. Among the stands, you'll find regional specialties from all over Italy, accompanied by a selection of craft beers curated in collaboration with Unionbirrai, as well as cocktails and drinks of all kinds.

• Street food with specialties from different Italian regions
• Selected craft beers and guided tastings (the "Fingermood" format)
• Live music every evening, with bands and DJ sets
• Funfair and activities for children
• Markets and craft stands

An event for the whole family

Mood & Food stands out for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere: entry is free and the park offers ample outdoor spaces to sit, eat, and listen to music. The evenings are punctuated by concerts and DJ sets, while in the afternoon and early evening there are plenty of entertainment and activities designed for younger audiences. Particular attention is also paid to inclusivity, with a stand reserved for gluten-free products.

Crespellano and its Pro Loco

The festival is entirely organized by the Pro Loco Crespellano, with the support of the Municipality of Valsamoggia, the Rocca dei Bentivoglio Foundation, and local entities committed to the enhancement of the Hills of Bologna and Modena. It's an opportunity to discover this corner of Emilia-Romagna by combining good food, conviviality, and music.
