About Rose Festival

Every summer, at the sports facilities of the hamlet of Rosegaferro in Villafranca di Verona, the Rose Festival returns: a traditional village festival with food stalls, risottos, tortellini, grilled chicken, and the unmissable rose cakes, accompanied by local wines, live music, and dancing. A convivial event organized by the volunteers of Gruppo il Sasso.

The Rosegaferro Festival

The Rose Festival is the traditional summer festival of the hamlet of Rosegaferro, in the municipality of Villafranca di Verona. It takes place at the hamlet's sports facilities and is one of the most cherished events for the local community, organized by the volunteers of Gruppo il Sasso, a historic association that enlivens Rosegaferro throughout the year.

Food, Wine, and Music

The heart of the event is the food stalls, featuring traditional Veronese dishes – risotto, tortellini, grilled chicken – and the sweet rose cakes that give the festival its name, all accompanied by local wines. The evenings continue with live music and dancing, including Latin dances, in a village festival atmosphere open to families and visitors.

A Tradition of Volunteering

The Rose Festival is an expression of the voluntary work of Gruppo il Sasso and the Rosegaferro community's connection to its traditions. Included in the calendar of festivals for the hamlets of Villafranca, it represents a moment of gathering and conviviality in the plain southwest of Verona.
