Valle Lomellina Artichoke Festival

The Artichoke on the Table

The Valle Lomellina Artichoke Festival brings to the village festival grounds, in the province of Pavia, a celebration dedicated to one of the most beloved vegetables of the Lomellina garden. It is an event that showcases the peasant cuisine of Lomellina, made of local produce, traditional recipes, and conviviality.

The Atmosphere of a Village Festival

The Valle Lomellina festival is an authentic event, far from the major tourist circuits and close to the genuine spirit of village festivals. At the festival grounds, you can taste traditional Lomellina dishes, with the artichoke featured in numerous preparations, all within a familiar and welcoming atmosphere.

In the Heart of the Rice-Growing Lomellina

Valle Lomellina is located in the heart of the Pavia rice-growing plain, a land shaped by rice paddies, springs, and farmhouses. The festival is part of a rich spring calendar of gastronomic events, making Lomellina a perfect destination for those seeking authentic flavours and rural landscapes.

Concurrently with Benvenuti in Lomellina

The Artichoke Festival is held on the same days as Benvenuti in Lomellina, the major regional event promoted by GAL Risorsa Lomellina with the support of the Lombardy Region. A weekend when the entire territory opens its doors to the public, with farmhouses, villages, and rice paddies: the Valle Lomellina festival is a delicious and unmissable stop.
