Sagra del Pane di Loreo
The bread of Loreo and panbiscotto take centre stage in the waterside village of the Po Delta
About Sagra del Pane
The bread that tells the story of Loreo
The Sagra del Pane di Loreo is the festival that, every June, puts a symbolic product of the village at its centre: panbiscotto, the traditional Loreo twice-baked bread, whose origins are lost in local historical memory. We are in Loreo, in the province of Rovigo, in the heart of the Veneto Regional Park of the Po Delta, a historic waterside village crossed by canals.
Between rural tradition and tastings
The festival celebrates master bakers and bread culture with a programme that combines:
- reenactments of rural life, such as wheat threshing in the square;
- tastings and food stalls along Via Roma;
- markets and cultural moments;
- concerts, performances, and side events.
A festival of the Po Delta
Organised by the Pro Loco of Loreo in synergy with the Municipality, the Sagra del Pane is an eagerly awaited event on the Polesine calendar, often accompanied by the food and wine event "Terra e Mare". Experiencing the festival means discovering the soul of a waterside village and a gastronomic tradition rooted in the rural civilisation of the Delta.
Sagra del Pane — edition 2026
For 2026, the 25th edition of the Sagra del Pane di Loreo is expected, generally held around the third Sunday of June. The festival's structure is confirmed: panbiscotto at the centre, reenactments of rural life such as threshing, tastings, markets, and cultural and musical events in the waterside village of the Po Delta.
