About Sagra del Brocolo
The festival of the Veronese broccoli
The Sagra del Brocolo di Novaglie is a traditional festival dedicated to broccoli, a typical product of the hamlet of Novaglie, in the hills southeast of Verona. Founded in the 1930s, it is one of the oldest and most beloved festivals in the Veronese territory, deeply linked to the area's peasant culture.
Food stalls and live music
The heart of the event is the food stalls, where you can taste traditional Veronese dishes and broccoli-based specialties. Every evening, the festival is accompanied by live music, with cover bands and DJ sets that liven up the village until late, in a atmosphere of joy and conviviality.
Walks, games, and shows
In addition to food, the program includes morning walks in the countryside through the hills of Valpantena, games for adults and children, bike trial exhibitions, and entertainment for all ages. The festival is also an opportunity to rediscover the paths and places of the hamlet, such as the hermitage of San Fidenzio.
A tradition of Novaglie
Organized by the Pro Loco of Novaglie with the involvement of the local community, the Sagra del Brocolo is an identity event for the hamlet and for Verona: a spring festival that, for almost a century, has celebrated the flavors and traditions of the Veronese countryside.
