Valera in Festa
The summer festival of Valera Fratta at the Parco delle Cicogne
About Valera in Festa
Valera in Festa, the summer of a town at the Parco delle Cicogne
In Valera Fratta, a municipality of a few hundred inhabitants in the province of Lodi, the most cherished summer festival is Valera in Festa. For a few evenings in July, the Parco delle Cicogne, the municipal green space along Via Giuseppe La Pira, transforms into a large open-air square where people eat, drink, and listen to music until late at night.
Food, food trucks, and evenings of music
The heart of the event is the combination of food and live concerts. Alongside the organizing committee's stalls, there are food trucks offering street food specialties, while every evening tribute bands dedicated to the great names of Italian music take to the stage. It's a festival designed for families and the local community, with free admission and a particular focus on solidarity: part of the proceeds support the activities of local associations.
A festival made by the town's associations
Valera in Festa is organized by local associations (managed by Valera In Festa ODV and involving local groups), in collaboration with the Municipality of Valera Fratta, which closes the park and surrounding streets each year for the setup. For the public, it's an opportunity to gather outdoors on summer evenings, in one of the initiatives that best represent the community life of this corner of the Lodi region.
When it takes place
The event is traditionally held in July, over several consecutive days. The dates and the musical program for the edition are announced by the organizing associations and the Municipality in the weeks leading up to it.
Valera in Festa — edition 2026
For 2026 too, Valera Fratta is preparing to host its summer festival at the Parco delle Cicogne. The formula remains the tried and tested one: several consecutive evenings in July dedicated to good food, food trucks, and live concerts, in a village festival atmosphere with free admission.
At the moment, the exact dates and the musical program for the 2026 edition have not yet been made public: they will be communicated through the channels of the Municipality of Valera Fratta and the Valera In Festa ODV page. The event confirms itself as one of the fixed appointments of the summer in the Lodi region.
