About Polenta Festival of Burghet

When autumn arrives, Borghetto Lodigiano gathers around its most beloved dish with the Polenta Festival, the "Sagra della Polenta de Burghet". Organized by the Pro Loco, it takes place over two weekends in October with lunches and dinners based on polenta, prepared with traditional Lodi recipes. Between musical interludes on Saturday evenings and bingo with rich prizes on Sundays, it is a genuine village festival, attentive to welcoming everyone — including families, people with mobility issues, and animals — in the heart of the Bassa Lodigiana.

The Lodi Polenta Festival

The Polenta Festival, known as "Sagra della Polenta de Burghet", is the autumn festival of Borghetto Lodigiano, a municipality in the Province of Lodi. Organized by the Pro Loco of Borghetto Lodigiano, it celebrates one of the symbolic dishes of the peasant cuisine of the Bassa Lombardia: polenta.

Two Weekends of Taste

The festival is held over two weekends in October, with lunches and dinners featuring polenta served according to traditional recipes. Saturday evenings are accompanied by a musical interlude, while Sunday lunch includes the classic bingo with rich prizes, in a festive atmosphere that evokes the authentic spirit of Lodi village festivals.

A Welcoming Festival

The Pro Loco pays great attention to hospitality: the festival is designed to be accessible to everyone, including families with strollers, people with mobility issues, and those who wish to attend with their pets. An event that, year after year, confirms the bond between Borghetto Lodigiano, its Pro Loco, and the gastronomic tradition of the area.
