Street food arrives on Lake Orta
About Street Food Gozzano
Street food on the shores of Lake Orta
For a weekend in June, Gozzano—a town in the Province of Novara overlooking the southern tip of Lake Orta, in Piedmont—hosts Street Food Gozzano, a celebration of street food that brings a caravan of food trucks, converted ape cars, and gourmet stands from various Italian regions to the town center. It is an itinerant format that, as part of the Piedmontese "Assaggia l'Italia" circuit, visits the villages of the Cusio and Upper Piedmont areas, and has found one of its most popular stops in Gozzano.
A journey through the flavors of Italy
The heart of the event is variety: from Piedmontese Fassona beef burgers to traditional fried delicacies, from Calabrian specialties to sweet and savory French crêpes, from gourmet sandwiches to piadinas, as well as artisanal desserts, fresh fruit, and gelato. Accompanying the dishes are craft beers, a true hallmark of the event, with selections from small breweries offered at the stands.
More than just food: music and atmosphere
Beyond the culinary offerings, the Gozzano street food event is a festive occasion: the program usually includes live music, DJ sets, and entertainment to liven up the evenings, with tables and common areas set up for enjoying dinner outdoors. The atmosphere is that of a typical village fair—informal, friendly, and suitable for all ages.
The 2026 edition and the Oceanman
The 2026 edition, scheduled for June 13th and 14th, takes place in conjunction with Oceanman Lake Orta, the Italian stage of the international open-water swimming circuit. This event brings hundreds of athletes from dozens of countries to Gozzano, with race finishes along the lakefront and at the Lido di Gozzano. The combination of water sports and street food makes the weekend particularly lively, attracting athletes, families, and curious visitors to the town center.
Why it's worth it
- Free entry and a village-fair atmosphere on Lake Orta.
- Dozens of culinary offerings from all over Italy in one place.
- Craft beers, live music, and DJ sets.
- In 2026, paired with the Oceanman Lake Orta stage.
