Sagra di Pianengo
Three days of celebration in the heart of Cremasco
About Sagra di Pianengo
The sagra of the Cremasco village
The Sagra di Pianengo is the popular festival of Pianengo, a small municipality in the Cremasco area, province of Cremona. It takes place in the first days of October and lasts for three days, enlivening the Oratory, the Church Square, and Via Papa Giovanni XXIII. It is organized by the Sagra Committee with the collaboration of the Municipality and local associations.
Cremaschi tortelli take center stage
Cuisine is the heart of the festival, with the famous cremaschi tortelli as the protagonists, also available for takeaway, alongside foiolo (tripe) and traditional dishes. The tortellata gatherings become collective moments that fill the evenings and Sunday lunches.
Shows for all ages
The program blends entertainment and culture: a fashion show, circus performances and theater for children, falconry, bocce games, bike tours, artistic and karate exhibitions, and musical evenings with themed DJ sets. There is also a Luna Park with its attractions and numerous commercial stalls that liven up the town center.
Community and citizenship
A distinctive feature of the Sagra di Pianengo is the ceremony of awarding scholarships and a copy of the Constitution to the town's eighteen-year-olds, a sign of a festival that remains firmly linked to civil and community life. An event that tells the identity of the Cremasco region, combining gastronomy, tradition, and a sense of belonging.
