About Oratorio in Festa Gandino
The Gandino Summer Gathering
Every June, the Sacro Cuore Oratory in Gandino, in Val Seriana (province of Bergamo), opens its doors for Oratorio in Festa, an event that livens up the town's evenings with food, games, and sports. It's one of those events that builds community, where families, young people, and the elderly gather to share carefree evenings.
The Kitchen Takes Center Stage
The heart of the festival is the kitchen, open every evening from 7:00 PM. The menu is rich and varied, ranging from the great classics of the Bergamo tradition to more original offerings:
- Pizza, casoncelli, pizzoccheri, polenta
- Spaghetti with small squid, mixed fried fish, grilled dishes
- Bresaola, cured beef, pulled pork
- Couscous, Senegalese fried fish, hamburgers
- Desserts, waffles, cotton candy, and bar service
Games, Sports, and Tournaments
Alongside the food, Oratorio in Festa offers many activities: inflatables for children, burraco and chess tournaments, as well as beach volleyball and football challenges and other sports games. A program designed to involve all ages throughout the two weeks of the festival.

Held at Via San Giovanni Bosco, Oratorio in Festa is described as "a festival for everyone" that enlivens Gandino's June evenings in Val Seriana with good food, games, sports, and a strong desire to be together. The dinner on the opening night is by reservation.
