VillaFest
Three open-air evenings featuring street food, craft beers, and live music in Villanova Mondovì
About VillaFest
VillaFest, the youthful summer of Villanova Mondovì
When July arrives, Villanova Mondovì lights up its most anticipated evenings with VillaFest, the open-air event organized by the Pro Loco, which has become one of the most popular fixtures in the Monregalese summer calendar over the last few years. For three days, the village, nestled at the foot of the Maritime Alps in the province of Cuneo, turns into a large open-air club where friends can meet, eat, toast, and dance until late at night.
A format blending food and music
VillaFest was born with a clear identity: to combine the conviviality of Piedmontese village festivals with contemporary entertainment trends. The heart of the event is the Cascina Ellena area, which hosts the food stalls and the stages for the nightly performances. The offering revolves around a few key ingredients:
- Street food and specialties to enjoy outdoors;
- Craft beers, with strong ties to local breweries;
- Cocktails and bar stations to accompany the evenings;
- Live music and DJ sets, which keep the area buzzing until late at night.
A growing festival in the Monregalese area
Now in its early editions, VillaFest has quickly established itself as a landmark for young people in Villanova Mondovì and neighboring towns, from Mondovì to the entire Ellero Valley. The formula chosen by the Pro Loco—accessible fun, a focus on local products, and a varied musical program—has captured a wide audience, appealing to those looking for a fresh, informal alternative to classic summer festivals.
Why it is worth attending
VillaFest is the ideal opportunity to discover the most vibrant soul of summer in Piedmont: an event where the quality of street food and craft beers meets concerts and DJ sets in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you are a music lover, curious about the local gastronomic scene, or simply looking for a great summer night out, the nights in Villanova Mondovì are sure to win you over.
