Jesolo's historic Grape Festival with float parades, wine, and folklore
Wine & Folk is the name under which the historic Festa dell'Uva (Grape Festival) of Jesolo, in the province of Venice, is revived today. This event, with decades of history, draws residents and tourists to the town squares every early September. Tradition meets modernity in a festival celebrating the grape harvest and the region's deep connection with viticulture.
The heart of the event is the parade of allegorical floats pulled by tractors, which winds through the town's streets distributing grapes and wine to the public. The procession is accompanied by majorettes, choreographed dances, live music, and folk groups who liven up the squares with traditional local songs and dances.
At the arrival squares, wine workshops, wine experiences with barefoot grape stomping, activities for children, and tastings of typical grapes and wines are held, fostering a convivial festive atmosphere that unites generations.
The 2026 edition of Wine & Folk – Festa dell'Uva, the 67th, takes place on September 5 and 6 in the squares of Jesolo's town center. The highlight is the traditional parade of allegorical floats pulled by tractors, distributing grapes and wine to the public along the route.
The procession is accompanied by majorettes, choreographed dances, live music, and folk groups.
