Villanova di Cepagatti Beer Festival

A summer festival in the heart of Villanova

The Villanova di Cepagatti Beer Festival is one of the most established summer events in the village of Villanova, within the municipality of Cepagatti, in the province of Pescara. Every July, the municipal public park in Villanova transforms for six consecutive nights into an open-air gathering spot where beer flows freely and great food meets live music. It is an event designed for the warm Abruzzo summer nights, when the evening air invites everyone to spend time outdoors in good company.

Craft beer and street food

The heart of the festival is, of course, the craft beer, served on tap and accompanied by a rich selection of street food. The food stalls feature typical Abruzzo festival specialties alongside classic beer festival favorites, ranging from hearty dishes to quick snacks. Free entry and the lush park setting make the event suitable for everyone, from families to groups of friends.

Music and entertainment

Every evening is accompanied by live music and entertainment. Over the years, the festival has hosted local bands and groups spanning various genres, helping to create that convivial atmosphere that is the hallmark of village festivals. The detailed musical program is usually released by the municipal administration and organizing committees in the weeks leading up to the event.

Part of the Cepagatti Estate calendar

The Beer Festival is part of the Cepagatti Estate program, an initiative through which the Municipality of Cepagatti coordinates dozens of events dedicated to culture, music, sports, popular traditions, and entertainment from June to September. As a recurring event for several years, the Villanova festival has become a staple of the Pescara summer and a moment of connection for the entire community.

Villanova and the Cepagatti area

The village of Villanova is the most populous and vibrant part of the municipality of Cepagatti, situated in a hilly position a short distance from Pescara and the Adriatic coast. The area, which blends countryside, vineyards, and residential centers, offers visitors the chance to discover Abruzzo's hospitality, its authentic gastronomy, and the warmth of popular festivals like this one.
