About Spring Festival

In Serravalle, a hamlet of the Municipality of Riva del Po in the province of Ferrara, the Festa alla Primavera (Spring Festival) enlivens the Public Park on Via Stefano Mongini with two days of culture, gastronomy, and conviviality. The 2026 edition of the festival takes on special significance as it celebrates ten years of Pro Loco Serravalle Insieme APS. Featuring a tuning rally, a cultural walk, markets, art exhibitions, and traditional games, it's an event designed for the entire community and for those wishing to discover an authentic corner of the Bassa Ferrarese.

The Spring Festival in Serravalle

The Spring Festival is the event that annually welcomes the arrival of the warmer season in Serravalle, the easternmost hamlet of the Municipality of Riva del Po, in the province of Ferrara, in the heart of the Bassa Ferrarese and the Union of Municipalities Terre e Fiumi. The festival takes place at the Public Park on Via Stefano Mongini and is organized by the Pro Loco Serravalle Insieme APS, with the patronage of the Municipality of Riva del Po.

The Pro Loco's Tenth Anniversary

The 2026 edition is particularly important as it coincides with the tenth anniversary of Pro Loco Serravalle Insieme. In ten years, the association has become a reference point for the social and cultural life of the town, animating the area with festivals, initiatives, and gatherings throughout the year. The Spring Festival for the tenth anniversary aims to be a collective celebration, a way to thank volunteers and citizens, and to relaunch the Pro Loco's commitment to the community.

A Program for All Ages

The two days offer a mosaic of activities that blend culture, local traditions, and conviviality. Saturday afternoon opens with a tuning rally accompanied by a refreshment area, while Sunday morning is dedicated to the cultural walk, with meeting point at the public park and routes suitable for everyone, through nature, history, and local traditions. There will also be markets, exhibitors of typical products, and gastronomic moments curated by the Pro Loco chefs, featuring seasonal dishes and specialties of Ferrarese cuisine.

  • Tuning rally with refreshment area on Saturday afternoon.
  • Cultural walk on Sunday morning on routes of approximately 3 and 6 km, open to everyone.
  • Markets and stalls of local exhibitors.
  • Gastronomic moments with spring dishes and typical products.
  • Art exhibition with displays and workshops dedicated to visual arts.
  • Traditional games and entertainment with music and dancing in the afternoon.

Serravalle and the Bassa Ferrarese

Overlooking the Po River, Serravalle retains the tranquil charm of the Ferrara plain villages, characterized by embankments, countryside, and a strong community identity. Participating in the Spring Festival means experiencing firsthand the authenticity of a genuine village festival, far from the major tourist circuits, where local culture, good food, and community spirit merge into a festive weekend for residents and visitors of Emilia-Romagna.
