About Vintage Party

The Vintage Party transforms Piazza San Giovanni in Romentino, near Novara, into a nostalgic journey through time. Live swing music, dancers, traditional games, a vibrant vintage market, and an exhibition of classic Volkswagen Beetles bring the heart of this Piedmontese town to life. It is a festival designed for families, enthusiasts, and curious visitors of all ages, featuring entertainment for children and the chance to enjoy lunch together in the square.

A Sunday out of time in Romentino

In the heart of Romentino, a small town in the province of Novara, Piedmont, the Vintage Party turns back the clock for a full day dedicated to retro charm. Piazza San Giovanni and the surrounding streets fill with music, color, and nostalgic treasures, recreating the spirit of traditional village fairs. It is an event designed to engage families, vintage enthusiasts, and casual visitors alike, where every generation can rediscover a memory or find something new.

Swing, Beetles, and traditional games

The heart of the event is swing music, accompanied by dancers who bring the dances of the mid-20th century back to life. Alongside the makeshift dance floor in the square, you will find traditional gamesโ€”the kind played in streets or courtyards before the digital age. A major attraction is the exhibition of classic Volkswagen Beetles, true icons of 20th-century automotive design, lined up for the delight of motor enthusiasts and photographers.

The vintage market

For lovers of retro style and collectibles, the vintage market is the perfect opportunity to browse through clothing, accessories, vinyl records, design objects, and small mementos of the past. It is the kind of market where the thrill of the hunt is just as important as the purchase, and every stall tells a story.

For children and dining in the square

The day does not forget the little ones, with shows and entertainment dedicated to children, making the Vintage Party a truly family-friendly event. At midday, it is also possible to have lunch together in the square at tables set up for the occasion, enjoying dishes prepared by local Romentino merchants.

A local event in the Novara area

Promoted by the Pro Loco Tourist Association of Romentino in collaboration with local businesses, the Vintage Party is a prime example of how small Piedmontese towns can revitalize their squares with original, well-attended events that attract visitors from neighboring towns in the province of Novara.
