Sagra della Polenta e Festa di San Maurizio
The autumn patronal festival in Val Fontanabuona, featuring polenta with mushrooms and dancing
About Sagra della Polenta di Neirone
San Maurizio, patron saint of Neirone
In Neirone, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Genoa in Val Fontanabuona, the feast of San Maurizio around September 22nd is the village's patronal celebration. It has always been accompanied by the Sagra della Polenta, making this event one of the most anticipated moments of early autumn in the valley.
Polenta takes centre stage
The heart of the festival is gastronomic. At the Campo Sportivo (Sports Field), the stands of Pro Loco Neirone offer polenta topped with mushrooms, ragù, and cheeses, the queen of autumn tables, along with pasta, meat, sausage, and other dishes to suit all tastes. The stands open on Saturday evening and Sunday for lunch, guaranteeing two days of genuine flavours.
Indoor music and dancing
In addition to good food, the festival offers live music and a covered dance floor, so you can dance even in case of rain. A detail that reflects the practical and welcoming spirit of this community festival. For those who want to discover Val Fontanabuona in its most evocative season, the Sagra della Polenta in Neirone is a genuine opportunity for taste and conviviality.
