Oktobeerfest of Governolo

Oktoberfest on the Banks of the Mincio

Autumn brings an event to Governolo, a hamlet of the Municipality of Roncoferraro in the province of Mantua, that plays with the name and style of the famous German festivals: the Oktobeerfest. For four days at the end of September, the Mantua hamlet transforms into a large Bavarian-style beer festival.

The ingredients are the classic ones for the genre: abundant craft beer, cuisine designed to accompany it with generous dishes, and live music to provide the soundtrack for every evening. A mix that combines the cheerfulness of beer festivals with the authenticity of Lombardy's village fairs.

A Festival for Everyone

The Oktobeerfest of Governolo is the kind of event that brings together diverse audiences: craft beer enthusiasts, groups of friends looking for an evening out, families attracted by the festive atmosphere. The Bavarian-style formula - long tables, steins, music - creates that convivial atmosphere that is the true heart of the event.

Governolo and Roncoferraro

Governolo is located at the confluence of the Mincio and Po rivers, in an area of great historical and environmental value in the Bassa Mantovana region of Lombardy. The beer festival is one of the events that, along with the Ostrich Festival and the Centenary Fair of Sant'Agostino, mark the year of this lively hamlet of Roncoferraro.
