Veronéla in Gradéla Festival – Red Meat Festival
The grilled meat festival in the heart of Veronella's summer
About Veronéla in Gradéla
From the Carmine Festival to the Meat Festival
The Sagra Veronéla in Gradéla – Festa delle Carni Rosse is the summer event in Veronella, in the province of Verona, Veneto. Heir to the traditional Sagra della Madonna del Carmine, the event has evolved into a grand festival dedicated to grilled meat and the promotion of the Verona livestock supply chain, while maintaining its connection to the religious occasion of the Carmine.
Meat is the Star
The absolute protagonist is certified beef from the Consorzio Sigillo Italiano, offered every evening at the food stands with table service. The fun heart of the festival is the amateur grilling competition 'Veronéla in Gradéla', organized in collaboration with Unicarve, which tests barbecue enthusiasts in a fun and irreverent way, to promote local farms.
A Complete Village Festival
Alongside the food, the festival offers musical evenings, dancing, a funfair, and the religious moment with the Holy Mass and procession in honor of the Madonna del Carmine, accompanied by the Veronella band. Organized by the Pro Loco Veronella APS, it is one of the most attended summer festivals in the Bassa Veronese region.
