Over a century of festivities in the San Massimo district of Verona
The San Massimo Festival is the historic celebration of the district of the same name, in the western part of Verona. With a tradition dating back to 1913, it is among the longest-running district festivals in the 'Scaliger' capital: in recent editions, it has surpassed its 110th edition, testifying to over a century of continuity.
The festival takes place in the San Massimo district straddling the end of August and the beginning of September. The food and wine stalls offer traditional Veronese dishes at popular prices, while every evening bands and live groups, country evenings, performances, and DJ sets take turns on stage. A widespread celebration that enlivens the neighborhood for several days.
Organized by the parish community, the San Massimo Festival thrives on the volunteer work of residents and is distinguished by its charitable dimension, with initiatives to support the community. For those who want to discover the Verona of the districts, far from the main tourist flows of the center, it is an immersion into over a century of popular tradition.
In 2026, the historic San Massimo Festival returns to enliven the western district of Verona. Following the traditional calendar, the festival will take place between late August and early September, with food and wine stalls, live music evenings, and charity initiatives. The official dates will be announced by the parish of San Massimo and on the festival's social media channels.
The usual structure of the festival includes, for its entire duration, the evening opening of food and wine stalls with traditional Veronese dishes, live music with bands and groups, country evenings, performances, and DJ sets. The detailed program with dates and guests for the 2026 edition will be published by the parish. Program coming soon.
