Perarock Festival

The Rock of the Berici Hills

The Perarock Festival takes place in Perarolo di Arcugnano, a hamlet of the municipality of Arcugnano, in the province of Vicenza, in the Berici Hills. Founded in 1992, it is one of the longest-running and most beloved self-managed rock festivals in the Vicenza area, a benchmark for the alternative and independent scene in the Veneto region.

Music and More

The festival is not just about concerts: alongside the main stage, which hosts bands from the rock, punk, ska, and indie scene, numerous collateral activities flourish. Workshops on screen printing, collage, and painting, theatre and craft offerings, gastronomic areas, and discussion forums make Perarock a multidisciplinary event, where music intertwines with culture and social engagement.

A Participatory Festival

The soul of Perarock is self-management and participation: the organization is handled by volunteers, and the atmosphere remains that authentic one of great community festivals. Over the years, the stage has hosted well-known names from the Italian alternative scene, such as Ska-J, a historic ska band from Vicenza.

Between Vicenza and the Berici Hills

Perarolo di Arcugnano is nestled in the landscape of the Berici Hills, a few kilometers from Vicenza. Perarock is an opportunity to experience the Vicenza summer with a musical and alternative twist, far from the major commercial circuits, in one of the most characteristic settings in the area.
