The community festival of the Borgo Roma district in Verona
The Sagra del Cristo is one of the most cherished events in the Borgo Roma district, on the southern outskirts of Verona. It takes place in the parish park of Gesù Divino Lavoratore, a green space that for a few days transforms into the neighbourhood's open-air living room: tables, lights, the smell of grilling, and many people gathering after the winter.
The heart of the festival is the food and wine stalls, with typical Veronese cuisine dishes served at popular prices, accompanied by bars and convivial spaces. Every evening there is live music and entertainment, while the park's open spaces welcome families and groups of friends in a relaxed and genuine atmosphere.
More than a tourist event, the Sagra del Cristo is an occasion for community gathering: organised by the parish community, it thrives on the volunteer work of residents and brings the entire Borgo Roma together. For those who want to discover the popular and authentic Verona, far from the tourist circuits of the Arena and Piazza delle Erbe, it is an immersion into the neighbourhood life of the Scaliger capital.
From May 30 to June 2, 2026, the Borgo Roma district will celebrate its Sagra del Cristo in the parish park of Gesù Divino Lavoratore. Four days of festivities with food stalls, bars, live music, and gathering moments for residents and for those who wish to discover the Verona of the neighbourhoods.
The detailed music and evening program will be published by the parish in the days preceding the festival. The usual structure includes, for all evenings, the opening of the food stalls in the park and live musical entertainment. Full program coming soon.
Food stalls with traditional Veronese dishes, live music every evening, and open spaces for families in the parish park.
Borgo Roma is located in the southern area of Verona, well connected to the centre by ATV urban buses. By car, it is easily reachable from the southern ring road and the Verona Sud toll booth.
Access to the festival area is free; consumption at the food stalls is paid.
