The summer festival on the Lessinia plateau
The Sagra di Bosco Chiesanuova is the big summer festival of the main tourist centre of Lessinia, in the province of Verona. For three days, the town squares — Piazza Marconi and Piazza della Chiesa — are filled with stalls, music, and entertainment, in an atmosphere made special by the cool plateau air.
The food and wine stalls offer the specialities of the Veronese mountains, starting with the famous malga gnocchi. The evenings are enlivened by live music and concerts, while there is no shortage of entertainment and games for the little ones. Among the traditional events, the performance of the Campobanda, which brings itinerant music through the village streets.
Organised by the Pro Loco Bosco Chiesanuova, the sagra is one of the most cherished events of the Lessinia summer: an opportunity for holidaymakers, hikers, and residents to meet and experience the community spirit of this corner of the Lessini Mountains.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra di Bosco Chiesanuova is scheduled for July in the town squares, on the Lessinia plateau. The tried-and-tested formula is confirmed: three days of food and wine stalls, concerts, and entertainment, organised by Pro Loco Bosco Chiesanuova.
The detailed programme for the 2026 edition will be published by Pro Loco Bosco Chiesanuova in the weeks preceding the sagra (updates on the official Facebook page). The usual format includes three evenings with food and wine stalls — malga gnocchi and mountain specialities — concerts and live music, entertainment and games for children, and performances such as the Campobanda through the village streets.
Bosco Chiesanuova can be reached from Verona in about 40 minutes along the SP6 road that climbs the Lessinia plateau. The festival takes place in the town squares (Piazza Marconi and Piazza della Chiesa).
Free admission. Food and wine stalls are payable.
