The Ferragosto festival of the hamlet of Montorio, east of Verona
About Sagra dell'Assunta
The Sagra dell'Assunta in Montorio
The Sagra dell'Assunta is the summer festival of the hamlet of Montorio Veronese, in the eastern part of Verona (district 8). Organized by the local parish around the Assumption Day holiday on August 15th, it is one of the most deeply rooted Ferragosto events in the Veronese territory: in 2026, it reaches its 28th edition.
Traditional Cuisine
The heart of the festival are the food stalls, where Veronese cuisine specialties are served: risotto al tastasal (with seasoned pork mince), pastissada de musso (braised donkey, a dish iconic to the region), and many other typical dishes accompanied by local wines.
Music, Children, and Charity
Every evening, the festival offers live music, while for the little ones there are dedicated activities such as face painting and baby dance. There are also a charity raffle and the final tombola, traditional events that conclude the festival. Promoted entirely by parish volunteers, the Sagra dell'Assunta is a genuine opportunity to experience Ferragosto in Verona away from the tourist crowds, amidst the hills and villages east of the city.
