About San Massimo Festival

Between late August and early September, the San Massimo district, on the western outskirts of Verona, celebrates its historic festival. With a tradition dating back to 1913, it is one of the city's longest-running district festivals: food and wine stalls, live music every evening, charity activities, and community moments that bring the entire neighborhood together around its patron saint.

One of Verona's oldest festivals

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.

Food and music for the whole community

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.

The spirit of San Massimo

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.

The 2026 edition of the San Massimo Festival will be held between late August and early September in the San Massimo district of Verona, with food and wine stalls, live music every evening, and charity activities. The precise dates will be confirmed by the parish.
