About Goose Festival

In Vescovana, in the Bassa Padovana region, the goose is the undisputed queen of the table. The Festa dell'Oca, organized by the Pro Loco, brings the flavors of Paduan cuisine to the garden of the former parish kindergarten between the end of August and the beginning of September, with a food stand open every evening. Alongside typical dishes, there's a life-size Game of the Goose, music, a relaxation area, and fun for all ages.

The goose at the heart of the festival
