Sant'Antonio Festival (Sant'Antonio District)

A village festival in the heart of the Roero

The Sant'Antonio Festival takes place every June in the small Sant'Antonio district of Monticello d'Alba, in the Roero territory of the Cuneo province, Piedmont. Organized by the Pro Loco of Monticello d'Alba in collaboration with the Amici di Valle Rossi and the Ecomuseo delle Rocche, the event is rooted in the tradition of the patronal feast dedicated to Saint Anthony. Over the years, it has become a highly anticipated summer event that blends popular devotion, fine food, and entertainment.

Three days of music, flavors, and conviviality

The heart of the festival is the area adjacent to the former district schools, which becomes the village's main meeting point for the weekend. The streets fill with aromas during the street food and beer evenings, while the stage hosts live concerts and DJ sets that keep the party going late into the night. Among the most popular events is the 'asàdo' under the stars, a massive open-air barbecue that attracts many diners every year, along with the traditional Sunday gathering of vintage and sports cars.

Nature, tradition, and the local territory

The festival is more than just music and gastronomy: it kicks off with a nighttime nature walk organized with the Ecomuseo delle Rocche, guiding participants through the landscape of the Roero 'Rocche' (gullies), with its unique ravines and woodlands. It is a chance to experience the deep bond between the community of Monticello d'Alba and its land, defined by rolling hills, vineyards, and ancient farming traditions.
