About Purple Cabbage Festival
A vegetable that becomes a celebration
The Veronella Purple Cabbage Festival is the festival that celebrates the symbolic product of Veronella, a town in the Lower Veronese region of Veneto: the purple cabbage, a local variety with unmistakable violet-colored leaves. The event, organized by Pro Loco Veronella APS, has been awarded the Quality Festival mark, a recognition that rewards the authenticity and enhancement of local products.
Three weekends of taste and tradition
The festival takes place over three weekends in the Pro Loco Events Area, in Via Corte Grande, with food stalls offering dishes based on purple cabbage, accompanied by musical evenings, dancing, and shows. Among the most anticipated events are the Agricultural Fair and the non-competitive walk 'Tra le Verze' with FIASP, which takes participants to discover the Veronese countryside.
The Thanksgiving Day
The heart of the event is the Thanksgiving Day, with a historical parade accompanied by the band and a blessing, a moment that recalls the ancient bond between the community and the land. The festival concludes with the drawing of the 'moretta' lottery, in an atmosphere that combines gastronomy, agriculture, and local identity.
