About Gnocchi Festival

In Veggiano, a small town in the province of Padua, handmade gnocchi are a true institution. The Gnocchi Festival, organised by the Pro Loco, offers hand-rolled gnocchi served with many different sauces, from classic duck to ragรน, accompanied by music and dancing, an artisan market, a funfair for children, and a charity raffle. A genuine village festival, where Venetian gastronomic tradition meets conviviality.

The handmade gnocchi of Veggiano

The Gnocchi Festival is the gastronomic event that celebrates the tradition of handmade gnocchi in Veggiano, a municipality in the province of Padua. Organised by Pro Loco Veggiano in collaboration with the Parish of Sant'Andrea Apostolo, the festival is one of the most anticipated events of the village summer.

Many sauces, one passion

The star dish is, of course, the hand-rolled gnocchi, served with a rich choice of toppings: from duck ragรน to butter and sage, and more sophisticated variations. The food stand opens in the evening and accompanies the festive evenings with the flavours of Venetian cuisine.

Music, market, and fun

Alongside the food, the Gnocchi Festival offers music and dancing, a funfair for the little ones, an artisan market, and a charity raffle. A programme designed for all ages, making this festival a meeting point for the community of Veggiano and surrounding towns.
