About Monale Summer Festival

The Monale Summer Festival is the event that kicks off the warm season in this small town in the northern Asti area of Piedmont. Organized by the local Pro Loco, it features three days of live music, circus performances, food stalls, and family-friendly entertainment. The highlight is the revival night featuring the greatest hits of the 90s and 2000s, alongside children's workshops, themed parties, and outdoor activities for all ages.

The festival that lights up the Asti summer

When June arrives, Monale — a small town in the Province of Asti, in the heart of the Piedmontese Monferrato — transforms for three days into a meeting point for families, young people, and curious visitors. The Summer Festival, organized with passion by the Pro Loco of Monale, has become one of the most anticipated events on the local summer calendar: a village celebration that combines great food, music, and plenty of outdoor fun.

Music, flavors, and shows for all ages

The heart of the festival beats around the Pro Loco headquarters and the town square, where food stalls open every evening serving traditional Piedmontese dishes, grilled meats, desserts, and cocktails. The soundtrack changes every night: from musical tributes to the greatest hits of the 90s and 2000s, to themed parties with DJ sets, dancers, and choreography designed to keep everyone dancing until late.

The Summer Festival doesn't forget the little ones: circus workshops, face painting, street performers, and games liven up the afternoons, while family-oriented offerings make the event suitable for all ages.

An event that grows year after year

The strength of the Summer Festival lies in its ability to reinvent itself: each edition introduces new features and collaborations with local entities, from sports associations to local artistic groups. It is a festival that tells the story of a small but vibrant community, capable of attracting visitors even from neighboring towns in the northern Asti area.

Why it's worth visiting

  • Three free evenings of music and outdoor shows.
  • Authentic cuisine with typical Monferrato dishes.
  • Entertainment and workshops dedicated to children.
  • An authentic village atmosphere, far from mass tourism.

Monale, with its rolling hills and tranquility, is the ideal setting to experience a popular festival just like in the old days, made of conviviality and shared joy.
