Casoncelli, orchestras and musical evenings for Bergamo's Ferragosto
The Sagra di Ferragosto is the main summer festival in Osio Sopra, a town in the plains in the province of Bergamo. The event spans several weeks around August and combines two aspects: traditional cuisine and musical evenings with dance orchestras. It's a village festival in its most classic form, where the community comes together around the table and the dance floor.
The most anticipated gastronomic moment is the Gran Galà del Casoncello, dedicated to casoncello, the filled pasta that is one of the signature dishes of Bergamo cuisine. The festival thus celebrates a local product, offered during the food and wine evenings that mark the festival's calendar.
Alongside the food, the musical evenings with dance orchestras are the other pillar of the festival: live music accompanies dinners and enlivens summer evenings, in a deeply rooted tradition of popular celebration in the Bassa bergamasca region.
The Sagra di Ferragosto is a recurring event in Osio Sopra's summer calendar, with past editions sometimes extending over several weeks in August. It remains one of the most cherished gathering moments for the municipality and neighbouring towns in the province of Bergamo.
The 2026 edition of the Sagra di Ferragosto is expected in Osio Sopra during the usual August period, over several evenings.
The event maintains its dual focus: the Gran Galà del Casoncello featuring traditional Bergamo cuisine and the musical evenings with dance orchestras. The full schedule will be published by the organizers as the festival approaches.
