The little Woodstock of Renazzo: three evenings of live music and solidarity at Parco dei Gorghi
Born in the late nineties as a party among friends, Woodstock Party is now one of the most beloved summer events in Renazzo, a populous hamlet in the Municipality of Cento, in the province of Ferrara, in the heart of the Emilian plain. What was once a simple Sunday of music and beer among acquaintances has transformed, edition after edition, into an event eagerly awaited by the entire Cento area, so much so that it has been affectionately nicknamed the "little Woodstock" of Emilia-Romagna.
The festival takes place over three evenings at the Parco dei Gorghi in Renazzo, on Via Lamborghini, a green area that serves as a natural stage for the concerts. The program alternates local musical groups and guests, emerging bands, tribute bands, and DJ sets that open and close each evening. The musical offering ranges from rock to pop, from singer-songwriter music to more festive sounds, with the stated goal of attracting the widest possible audience, of all ages.
Alongside the stage, Woodstock Party is also a large outdoor gastronomic celebration. The food stand offers fried dumplings, house hamburgers, fried chicken croquettes, filled piadinas, and fried fish, accompanied by draft beer and spritz, with the unmissable evening happy hour. There is also a market and a equipped space for children, with entertainment and games, making the event suitable for the whole family.
The heart of Woodstock Party is its charitable dimension. The event is organized entirely on a voluntary basis by the Associazione Woodstock Party, a group of young and old residents of Renazzo who self-fund and donate the proceeds to local solidarity projects. In recent editions, the funds raised have supported organizations such as the Fondazione Zanandrea in Cento and its inclusive workshops. A celebration that combines fun, live music, and care for others, without barriers.
Admission to Woodstock Party is free and open to all, and no reservations are accepted: just show up at Parco dei Gorghi on the evenings of the event. An unmissable appointment of the summer in Cento and the entire Bassa ferrarese region, where good music meets the community spirit typical of Emilia-Romagna.
The 2026 edition of Woodstock Party will be held at the Parco dei Gorghi in Renazzo, a hamlet of Cento (FE), from Friday, July 24 to Sunday, July 26, 2026. This is the 29th edition of this small charity music festival, organized by volunteers from the Associazione Woodstock Party.
For three evenings, the park will host live concerts, DJ sets, a market, a children's area, and a large food area with fried dumplings, hamburgers, fried items, and draft beer. Opening hours are 7:30 PM on weekdays and 6:30 PM on weekends. Admission is free, and no reservations are accepted.
The complete program with the lineup of bands and DJs has not yet been published by the organizers: it will be released in the weeks preceding the event through the festival's official website and social media channels.
