San Massimo Festival
Over a century of festivities in the San Massimo district of Verona
About San Massimo Festival
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.
