Serravalle in Festa

Serravalle in Festa: Summer in Piazza Libertà

Serravalle in Festa is the summer festival that transforms Piazza Libertà in the center of Serravalle Sesia (province of Vercelli, Piedmont) into a vibrant open-air gathering place every year. For three consecutive evenings between late July and early August, the square comes alive with food stalls, live music, and family-friendly activities, capturing the true spirit of a Valsesian village festival.

Fine dining under the stars

The heart of the event lies in its abundant food stalls: tasty sandwiches, hearty grilled meats, fresh fish, and indulgent desserts. The offerings include a fish food truck, local butcher-shop meats, and a bar and pastry corner, ensuring an outdoor dinner to suit every palate. Guests dine at tables set up in the square, enjoying the relaxed and convivial atmosphere that defines the festival.

Music and entertainment for everyone

Each evening, the festival features live music and dance nights, with bands and DJs taking turns on the Piazza Libertà stage. Over the years, local groups such as the Seraval Band, the Raul Donovan Band, and the Echo ensemble have performed, alongside DJ-led nights for late-night dancing. For the little ones, a play area with bouncy castles is set up, allowing children to enjoy the festivities in complete safety.

A community celebration

Serravalle in Festa is organized with the involvement of the Pro Loco and local associations, making it one of the most cherished events of the summer in Serravalle. More than just a culinary event, it is an opportunity to reconnect, support the local community, and experience the authentic hospitality of the Valsesia region. Admission is free: you only pay for what you consume at the stalls.
