About Tomato Festival
A festival that has lasted for decades
The Tomato Festival of Borgoricco, a town in the plain north of Padua in the Graticolato Romano area, is one of the most rooted festivals in the local summer calendar. Dedicated to one of the symbolic products of Veneto agriculture, it has for decades told the community's bond with its land and peasant tradition.
Five days of celebration
The event takes place over five days in July at the food stall in Viale Europa. The tomato is the star of the cuisine, featured in numerous recipes that enhance local products. Musical evenings, dancing, and entertainment accompany the festival, which attracts visitors from all over the Camposampiero area.

One of the most anticipated moments is the election of Miss Graticolato Romano, a beauty contest now in its twenty-seventh edition, held at the Teatro del Centro Culturale Aldo Rossi.
