Sports Week

The Sports Week of Tronzano Vercellese

In the heart of the Vercelli rice-growing plains, the Municipality of Tronzano Vercellese hosts the Sports Week every June. This widespread event transforms the town's gyms, facilities, and public spaces into a large open-air sports village for about nine days. It is an event deeply rooted in the local community, organized by the civic list Impegno e Passione per Tronzano e Salomino, and designed to involve children, teenagers, adults, and families in a festive atmosphere.

Sport for all ages

The beauty of this week lies in the variety of disciplines on offer: from a fishing competition dedicated to children to road cycling races, as well as five-a-side football and basketball tournaments. Each day features its own event, ensuring that everyone, from young enthusiasts to budding athletes, can find an opportunity to get involved. Activities take place in various spots around town, from the Middle School Gym on Via Milano to the oratory, creating a route that spans Tronzano and the hamlet of Salomino.

A local tradition in the Vercelli area

More than just a series of competitions, Sports Week is a moment of gathering for the entire Tronzano community. The inauguration, featuring shows, performances, and refreshments, kicks off a week where sport becomes a pretext to meet up, work as a team, and enjoy the town's spaces together. It is one of those events that captures the soul of small Piedmontese towns, where the dedication of local associations and volunteers keeps a tradition of participation and enthusiasm alive.

Where and when

The event takes place in Tronzano Vercellese, in the Province of Vercelli, during the second half of June. The headquarters is the Middle School Gym at Via Milano 42, but various races also animate the oratory and other sports facilities in the town. Admission to all initiatives is free.
