Ossola Events Festival

A local festival blending sports and motors in the Ossola Valley

The Ossola Events Festival transforms the Felino and Franco Poscio Municipal Stadium in Villadossola—a town in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, in the heart of Northern Piedmont—for an entire day. Promoted by the Ossola Events association, the festival brings together diverse passions—football, motors, great music, and conviviality—in a program designed to engage families, young people, and enthusiasts from across the Ossola Valley.

From 5-a-side football to the Domo Street Crew motors

The day kicks off in the morning with 5-a-side football tournaments, bringing the stadium's synthetic pitch to life with competitive matches and award ceremonies. By late morning, the stadium's outer parking area fills with engines: the Domo Street Crew showcases their vehicles, hosting competitions and demonstrations that draw in tuning and sports car fans. It is a highly anticipated highlight that makes the festival a central hub for the local motor culture.

Aperitifs, DJ sets, and evening vibes

In the afternoon, the focus shifts to socializing: the cocktail stand serves aperitifs and drinks, while a refreshment area, managed in collaboration with Virtus Villa, remains open throughout the day. As evening falls, following the tournament awards, the festival continues with a DJ set that keeps the crowd entertained late into the night, all under the backdrop of the Ossola mountains.

A festival with a charitable heart

Beyond the fun, the Ossola Events Festival has a strong charitable mission: a portion of the proceeds is donated to charity, supporting local organizations such as the Villadossola Rescue Volunteers and the Regina Margherita Hospital. This bond with the community makes the festival much more than just a day of entertainment; it is a cherished event for the people of Villadossola and the surrounding municipalities.

Villadossola and the Ossola Valley

Villadossola is located in the lower Ossola Valley, along the routes that climb from the plains toward the Alpine valleys and the Swiss border. Attending the Ossola Events Festival is also a perfect opportunity to discover this corner of Piedmont, defined by its village traditions, outdoor lifestyle, and a deep sense of local community belonging.
