Premia Summer Fest - Summer Festival

A village festival at the foot of the Lepontine Alps

The Premia Summer Fest is the event that launches the summer in Premia, a village of just over five hundred inhabitants nestled at an altitude of about 800 meters in the picturesque Antigorio Valley, in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (Piedmont). The event takes place in the Pasquer sports and former skating area, the village's recreational hub that hosts an ice rink in winter and becomes the community's meeting point in summer.

An evening of taste, music, and conviviality

The format follows the tradition of the best Ossola village festivals: it begins in the late afternoon with the opening of the venue and an aperitif, followed by a dinner featuring mountain flavors. Food stalls and grills offer sausages, sandwiches, polenta, French fries, and many other specialties to enjoy at tables with friends. As evening falls, live music takes the stage, followed by a DJ set that keeps the dance floor alive until late at night.

Organized by local associations

The event is promoted by the Pro Loco of Premia in collaboration with the Associazione Uno Sguardo Sulla Valle and the Antigorian Pub. Local volunteers make this evening possible, embodying the community spirit that characterizes the small towns of Upper Ossola: an opportunity to gather, support local associations, and welcome the summer.

Premia and the Antigorio Valley

Premia is a popular destination for its thermal baths, the spectacular Orridi di Uriezzo canyons carved by glaciers, and the numerous Walser hamlets scattered among the pastures. Attending the Premia Summer Fest is also a great excuse to discover this corner of the Alpine Piedmont, just a stone's throw from the Swiss border, where mountain traditions remain vibrant and authentic.

Great food, rain or shine

The festival is held outdoors but is guaranteed even in case of rain thanks to a large covered marquee, ensuring the evening goes ahead regardless of the weather. Admission is free and suitable for all ages, from families to groups of friends.
