Bussolengo and Pescantina celebrate the peach of the Veronese plain
The Intermunicipal Peach Exhibition is a historic event that celebrates the peach, the symbolic fruit of the Veronese plain and in particular of the 'land of peaches' of Bussolengo and Pescantina, in the province of Verona. The event, which has passed its first half-century, brings together producers, administrations, and citizens around one of the territory's fruit and vegetable excellences.
On the bridge connecting Bussolengo and Pescantina, producers display the best peaches of the season, compared in a competition that awards quality productions. At the end of the exhibition, the fruits can be purchased, while the public is offered a refreshment with the characteristic peach risotto.
The event stems from the collaboration between the Municipalities of Bussolengo and Pescantina and the intermunicipal fruit and vegetable market, with the support of the Verona Chamber of Commerce. It is the moment when two neighboring communities come together to jointly enhance the agricultural tradition that unites them.
The Intermunicipal Peach Exhibition will return in early August 2026 on the bridge between Bussolengo and Pescantina, in the province of Verona. The event, as per tradition, will feature an exhibition of the best peaches of the season, a competition among producers with related awards, and refreshment with peach risotto. The exact date for the 2026 edition will be announced by the municipal administrations; in case of bad weather, the event will be postponed to the following day.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be announced by the Municipalities of Bussolengo and Pescantina. The established format includes the exhibition of peaches on the intermunicipal bridge in the late afternoon, a competition with awards for the best productions, and a refreshment open to the public featuring peach risotto.
The bridge between Bussolengo and Pescantina is easily reached from the Statale 11 and the A22 Brenner motorway, northwest of Verona. Parking is available in the adjacent areas.
Free admission. The exhibition typically takes place in the late afternoon; in case of bad weather, it is postponed to the following day.
