Oleggio Castello Beer Festival
Beer, authentic cuisine, and live concerts in the heart of the Vergante region
About Beer Festival
The summer festival in Oleggio Castello
When June arrives, the small town of Oleggio Castello, in the Province of Novara, transforms into one of the most beloved meeting points in the upper Novara and Vergante regions. The Beer Festival, organized by Pro Oleggio Castello APS in collaboration with the Don Giancarlo Rolando Recreational Center, has become a true tradition: an event that attracts families, groups of friends, and fans of good beer and great music every year.
Where it takes place
The heart of the festival is the Don Giancarlo Rolando Recreational Center, located at Via Monte Oleggiasco 18/A, just a stone's throw from the town center. Its outdoor spaces and large covered area ensure the evenings can be enjoyed even in case of bad weather, amidst long communal tables, food stalls, and the concert stage.
What to expect
- Flowing beer: the bar service remains open throughout the evening, with continuous pouring for the duration of the event.
- Authentic cuisine: the kitchen serves hearty, home-style dishes prepared by the association's volunteers, typically opening around 7:30 PM.
- Live music: every night, bands and cover acts take the stage, with live concerts animating the festival until late at night.
- Convivial atmosphere: long tables, cheerfulness, and that classic village-fair vibe that makes the event suitable for all ages.
A festival that supports the local area
The Beer Festival is not just about fun: it is a fundraiser aimed at supporting the activities of Pro Oleggio Castello APS, the association that enlivens the town's social and cultural life all year round. Participating therefore also means lending a hand to the local community.
Oleggio Castello and the Vergante
Situated on the first hills rising from Lake Maggiore toward Mottarone, Oleggio Castello is a quiet village in northeastern Piedmont, in the Province of Novara. The festival is the perfect opportunity to discover this corner of the Vergante, far from the most crowded destinations but rich in greenery, lake views, and genuine hospitality.
For information and reservations, particularly for dinner tables, it is recommended to contact the Pro Oleggio Castello organizers in advance.
