Prima Vera Fest

The Pieve Vergonte Spring Festival

Prima Vera Fest is the event that heralds the arrival of the warm season in Pieve Vergonte, a small town in the Ossola region, in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Piedmont. Launched in 2023 as a motorcycle party, the festival has grown over the years into a two-day gathering that attracts motor enthusiasts, families, and curious visitors from across the valley and the Lake Maggiore area.

Organizers

The event is promoted by the Originals 22 Association, a local group of motorcycle enthusiasts, with the patronage of the Municipality of Pieve Vergonte and the active collaboration of local merchants and associations. As the organizers emphasize, the entire town contributes to the success of the festival, with stands, exhibitions, and spaces set up along the town center streets.

What to expect

The heart of Prima Vera Fest is motors: sports car meets, racing car exhibitions, motorcycle demonstrations, and freestyle quad and taxi quad shows. Alongside the two- and four-wheeled vehicles, there is live music, sports and martial arts performances, street food, and areas dedicated to children.

• Sports car meets with Scoppiati Racing Team and Domo Street Crew
• Racing car exhibitions with Mik Racing Team and Piloti per Bene
• Freestyle quad and taxi quad shows
• Demonstrations of functional fitness, self-defense, and Krav Maga
• Concerts and tribute bands, street food, and markets
• Pedal car track and activities for the little ones

A charitable event

Prima Vera Fest is not just about celebration and fun: the entire proceeds from the event are donated to support the Good Vibration project, which aims to purchase and customize a special sidecar for transporting people with mobility issues. This choice gives the Pieve Vergonte festival a value that goes beyond a simple day of leisure.

When and where

The event takes place in spring along Via Cicoletti and in the center of Pieve Vergonte, starting on Saturday afternoon and continuing throughout the day on Sunday. Admission is free, and the atmosphere is the convivial and family-friendly one typical of village festivals in the Ossola region.
