Pozza in Piazza

The hamlet festival of Pozza di Maranello

Pozza in Piazza is the festival that every year, in September, enlivens the hamlet of Pozza, one of the historic locations in the Municipality of Maranello, in the Province of Modena. The village is located along the Via Claudia, about two kilometers from the center of Maranello in the direction of Vignola, and for an entire weekend, it rediscovers its natural meeting point in Piazza Arturo Toscanini, which transforms into a large open-air living room with tables, music, and conviviality.

An event that tells the popular soul of the territory

Maranello is known worldwide for the Prancing Horse and the culture of engines, but its territory also thrives on a dense network of village festivals and community events. Pozza in Piazza belongs precisely to this tradition: it is the festival of the local people, organized in collaboration with the hamlet's associations and with the support of the Municipality. Not a tourist event created artificially, but an authentic moment when the square becomes the center of the village's social life again.

What to find in the square

The atmosphere is typical of late summer Emilian festivals, where good food is the protagonist. Among the moments that characterize this two-day event:

• Food stalls with dishes from Modenese cuisine and local traditional flavors
• Live music and evening entertainment in the square
• Markets and stalls of crafts and typical products
• Entertainment and activities for families and children
• Moments of meeting and socializing for the entire community of the hamlet

When it takes place

The festival is traditionally held in September, on a weekend between Saturday and Sunday. In 2025, it took place on Saturday, September 20th, and Sunday, September 21st, coinciding with the automotive events that liven up Maranello during that period. For 2026, the official calendar of the Municipality indicates the dates of September 19th and 20th.

An event to experience

For those visiting Maranello and Emilia-Romagna in September, Pozza in Piazza is an opportunity to discover the most genuine and hospitable face of this corner of the Province of Modena, far from the most touristy circuits and immersed in the authentic conviviality of a village festival.
