About Spring Festival Montegelli
The Spring Festival of Bivio Montegelli
The Spring Festival, also known as Festa di Primavera, is the village festival that every year, between the end of May and the beginning of June, enlivens Piazza Pransani in the hamlet of Bivio Montegelli, in Sogliano al Rubicone. Organized by Pro Loco Bivio Montegelli - Inventa Eventi, the event celebrates the arrival of spring with three days dedicated to taste, music, and entertainment for adults and children.
Between Taste, Music, and Romagna Tradition
The heart of the festival is the food stall, which offers the most beloved dishes of Romagna cuisine: from porchetta to fried dumplings, from grilled meats to piadina, along with cured meats, pasta, and fries, all accompanied by cocktails and the convivial atmosphere typical of village festivals. The evenings are marked by live music, entertainment, shows for children, and moments of tradition, such as performances by Romagna storytellers.
Bivio Montegelli and the Rubicone Valley
Bivio Montegelli is a small hamlet in the Municipality of Sogliano al Rubicone, a village in the Cesena hinterland known throughout Italy for its famous formaggio di fossa (cave-aged cheese). Nestled among the rolling hills of the province of Forlì-Cesena, in Emilia-Romagna, this area preserves the authentic rhythm of rural Romagna, where Pro Loco festivals remain a focal point for the community and for visitors seeking a genuine experience away from the crowded coastal resorts.
A Festival for the Entire Community
The Spring Festival is designed for families and those who love village atmospheres: face painting, foosball tournaments, dance shows, and music evenings alternate in a program designed to engage all ages. Admission is free, and access to the food stall is without mandatory reservation, although groups are advised to contact the Pro Loco in advance.
