About Saint Eurosia Festival

Every early June, the village of Salizzole, in the Bassa Veronese region, gathers around the courtyard of its Scaliger Castle for the Saint Eurosia Festival. Organized by the Nuova Associazione No-Yes, the event offers six evenings with food stalls featuring the famous risotto, a funfair, a charity raffle, exhibitions in the castle halls, football tournaments, Vespa rallies, dance nights, and musical tributes. A festival that combines peasant tradition, solidarity, and fun for all ages, with free admission.

The Saint Eurosia Festival in Salizzole

In the heart of the Bassa Veronese region, the municipality of Salizzole preserves one of the best-kept Scaliger castles in the plains. It is in the courtyard of this Scaliger Castle that the Saint Eurosia Festival takes place in early June, organized by the Nuova Associazione No-Yes: six evenings that transform the village into a large space for popular celebration.

Risotto, Flavors, and Attractions

The protagonists of the festival are the food stalls, where risotto — the signature dish of the Veronese plain, a land of rice paddies — takes center stage alongside sandwiches, local specialties, and the unmissable Aperol Spritz at the refreshment points. For families, there is a funfair and a charity raffle, while the halls of the Scaliger Castle host exhibitions that add a cultural touch to the festivities.

Music, Sports, and Solidarity

The program is rich and varied: from DJ sets to ballroom orchestras, from the school football tournament to the evening Vespa rally, to the Sunday morning solidarity walk. The grand finale features a tribute to the Pinguini Tattici Nucleari performed by young local bands. The Saint Eurosia Festival is thus much more than just a party: it is a moment of aggregation that showcases the sense of community and the joy of Salizzole.
