Nine days of sports and great food in the heart of Montalto Dora
In the heart of the Canavese, under the shadow of the charming castle overlooking the village, the Sports Festival has for years been the most cherished summer event in Montalto Dora, in the Province of Turin. For nine days, the Parco della Resistenza, located in Piazza Chiesa, transforms into a large sports village where competition, fun, and conviviality blend into one big village celebration.
The event is organised by A.S.D. Pallavolo Montalto Dora with the patronage of the Municipality of Montalto Dora and thanks to the tireless work of dozens of volunteers: cooks, table service staff, bartenders, and collaborators who make this great event dedicated to sports and good food possible every year.
The programme revolves around numerous amateur tournaments, designed to involve athletes of all levels and casual enthusiasts alike. Key disciplines include:
Beyond sports, the cuisine is a major highlight. Every evening, starting at 7 pm, the food stand opens with table service, a bar, and a takeaway area with tables and benches. The menu features grilled meats, French fries, burgers, salads, hot dogs, wine, cocktails, and beer: a simple and genuine offering that accompanies the sporting evenings and attracts families and friends from all over the Canavese.
An unmissable tradition of the festival is the lottery, with prizes displayed at the village's market area shed. The final draw closes the event, providing one last moment of anticipation and joy for all participants.
Free and open to all, the Montalto Dora Sports Festival is much more than a series of tournaments: it is a meeting point for the entire community, a moment of socialising, joy, and friendship that brings the village and neighbouring towns together every summer. A perfect appointment to discover the hospitality of the Canavese, combining sports, taste, and popular tradition.
