The melon takes centre stage in Massanzago

In Massanzago, in the province of Padua, every July the melon becomes the king of the festival. The Sagra del Melone, in its 46th edition in 2026, is a historic event that celebrates an iconic product of this part of the Venetian countryside, highlighting its freshness and the many ways to enjoy it. Since 2022, the festival has obtained Quality certification, a recognition of the community's commitment to its organisation.

Tastings and Venetian cuisine

The heart of the festival is gastronomic: you can taste fresh local melon, but also melon paired with dishes from Venetian cuisine, from the classic prosciutto and melon to artisanal melon ice cream. The food stand also offers traditional specialities, in a journey of flavours that attracts visitors from all over the Padua region every year.

Music, market, and shows

Around the dining tables, a rich entertainment programme unfolds: concerts and tribute bands, DJ sets, a market exhibition, a charity raffle, and fireworks displays. The setting is the Villa Baglioni Park, a historic residence in Massanzago. Organised by the Pro Loco of Massanzago (local association), the Sagra del Melone combines the promotion of a local product with a popular summer festival.
