About Sagra dell'Assunta

Every year around August 15th, the hamlet of Montorio Veronese, east of Verona, celebrates the Sagra dell'Assunta. Reaching its 28th edition in 2026, it's a big Ferragosto parish festival with food stalls featuring Veronese specialties - risotto al tastasal, pastissada de musso - live music every evening, activities for children, a charity raffle, and the unmissable final tombola (bingo). A classic of the Scaliger districts' summer.

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.
