San Rocco Festival in Bussolengo, between faith, risotto and ballroom dancing
About San Rocco Music Festival
The San Rocco Festival
The San Rocco Music Festival is the festival dedicated to San Rocco in Bussolengo, in the province of Verona, and represents one of the most deeply rooted events of the town's summer tradition. The evening of August 16th intertwines the religious dimension with the popular and convivial one, bringing the community together in Piazza 26 Aprile.
From Mass to Ballroom Dancing
The festival opens with Mass at the Chapel of San Rocco, in Via Porta, a spiritual moment that recalls the community's historical bond with its patron saint. Following this, the Pro Loco's gastronomic stand takes center stage, offering traditional risotto, while the evening concludes with ballroom dancing — waltzes, mazurkas, and polkas — led by the orchestra.
Tradition and Community
More than just a concert, the San Rocco Music Festival is a town festival that celebrates local traditions and the sense of community in Bussolengo, in an atmosphere of music, good food, and gathering that is renewed every summer.
