Park Festival
The community festival of the San Giovanni Neumann Parish in Sassuolo
About Park Festival
The Park Festival of Sassuolo
The Park Festival is one of the most cherished community festivals in Sassuolo, a town in the province of Modena famous for its ceramic tradition and the splendid Ducal Palace Estense. The event takes place in the park of the Parish of San Giovanni Neumann, on Via Rovigo, and transforms the parish green space into a meeting point for families, young people, and neighborhood residents for an entire weekend.
A Festival of Food and Conviviality
The heart of the festival is undoubtedly the Emilian cuisine. The food stalls and the beer garden offer the region's great classics: gnocco fritto, tigelle, local cured meats and cheeses, tortellini and tortelloni, gramigna pasta, roasts, and delicious grilled meats. One evening is also dedicated to fish specialties and seafood dishes, an appreciated variation that enriches the menu of a festival otherwise tied to land traditions.
Music, Games, and Shows
In addition to food, the Park Festival offers a rich entertainment program: live music and DJ sets liven up the evenings, while the splash soccer tournament accompanies the entire weekend with fun-filled challenges. For the little ones, there's the Puppet Theater, and for those who like to test their knowledge, there are team quizzes. Sunday also maintains its religious dimension with the morning holy mass and the community lunch.
An Event for All of Sassuolo
Free and open to all, the Park Festival is much more than a parish festival: it's an opportunity to gather, support the community's activities, and enjoy early summer evenings together. An event that, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, celebrates the value of village social life and good food.
Park Festival — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Park Festival in Sassuolo was held on the weekend of June 5-7, 2026, confirming its successful formula of good food and fun for all ages. For three days, the parish park welcomed the community with food stalls, a beer garden, and an evening events calendar.
