The local festival of Pollenzo, featuring street food, live music, and Roero traditions
Every summer, the village of Pollenzo, a jewel within the municipality of Bra in the Province of Cuneo, transforms into a lively festival hub for Pollenzo in Festa. Organized by the Pro Loco La Torre di Pollenzo in collaboration with the Municipality of Bra, the event is one of the most cherished highlights of the Bra summer, bringing together the local community and attracting visitors from across the Roero and Langhe regions.
Pollenzo is no ordinary village: its heart is the scenic Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, dominated by the neo-Gothic Agenzia di Pollenzo complex, commissioned by King Charles Albert of Savoy. Today, it houses the University of Gastronomic Sciences, the Wine Bank (Banca del Vino), and the Albergo dell'Agenzia. Just a few steps away stands the Church of San Vittore, while the ancient village still preserves traces of the Roman town of Pollentia. It is in this stunning setting that the festival comes to life, offering a unique atmosphere blending history, gastronomy, and conviviality.
The program for Pollenzo in Festa follows the tradition of the best Piedmontese village festivals: evenings of street food featuring local specialties, live music and performances, entertainment for all ages, and social gatherings that keep the square buzzing until late. Festivities typically begin around 8:00 PM with food stalls, followed by music and entertainment.
The 2026 edition of Pollenzo in Festa is scheduled for July 10th and 11th, 2026, as part of the rich summer program in Bra that highlights its various districts. The festival takes place in the center of Pollenzo, with Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II serving as the main hub. Admission to all events is free.
Per il 2026 Pollenzo in Festa torna nel weekend del 10 e 11 luglio, confermata nel calendario ufficiale dell'estate di Bra. La frazione di Pollenzo si prepara a due giornate di festa con stand gastronomici, street food, musica e intrattenimento in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.
L'appuntamento si inserisce in un'estate braidense ricca di eventi, che vede le frazioni grandi protagoniste accanto agli appuntamenti del centro città.
Il programma dettagliato dell'edizione 2026 sarà annunciato dalla Pro Loco La Torre di Pollenzo nelle settimane precedenti la manifestazione.
