Spring Festival of Poggio Renatico

The Spring Festival in Poggio Renatico

In the Municipality of Poggio Renatico, in the Province of Ferrara, the Spring Festival marks the return of good weather each year with a grand celebration dedicated to food and conviviality. The event takes place at Parco 1° Maggio, on Via San Carlo 79, inside a covered, heated, and air-conditioned venue that allows visitors to enjoy the evenings regardless of the typical spring weather of the Po Valley.

A Journey into Emilian Cuisine

The heart of the festival is traditional Ferrara and Emilian gastronomy. The kitchen prepares the great traditional first courses, from cappellacci to tortelli, from lasagna to asparagus risotto, a symbol of the season. Among the main courses, the salama da sugo IGP stands out, the undisputed queen of the Ferrara table, served with mashed potatoes, but there are also mixed grills, pork knuckle, rabbit stew with polenta, and fresh fish dishes. To finish, desserts from the trolley and sorbets.
