Festa degli asparagi e delle fragole

The Festa degli asparagi e delle fragole in Isola della Scala celebrates the spring awakening of the Verona region, transforming the village into a gastronomic capital where two local agricultural treasures become the undisputed stars. From April 24 to May 3, 2026, the town comes alive with authentic aromas and flavors, honoring the culinary traditions of the Veneto plains with dishes that highlight the delicate taste of asparagus and the sweet freshness of strawberries.

Gastronomic stands throughout the village offer a fascinating sensory journey where genuine local products tell the story of the region's agricultural richness. Asparagus is celebrated in traditional preparations such as asparagus risotto, asparagus with butter and hollandaise sauce, omelets, and rustic dishes from Veronese countryside cooking, while strawberries steal the show in irresistible desserts like cakes, panna cotta, artisanal gelato, and fresh fruit salads. A culinary experience that perfectly reflects the deep connection between the territory and its seasonal produce.

Beyond the gastronomic delights, the festival stands out for its convivial and festive atmosphere that fills the village streets. Live music every evening from 7:00 PM, folk shows, cooking demonstrations with local chefs, and moments of socializing guide visitors into a complete immersion in the charm of spring. The vibrant colors of the season blend with the warm Veneto hospitality in one of the region's major spring events, which attracts approximately 15,000 visitors each year.

The event takes place in the main squares and streets of Isola della Scala's historic center, with ample free parking at the municipal area. The festival is completely accessible for people with disabilities with dedicated pathways. Opening hours: Monday-Friday 6:00 PM-11:00 PM, Saturday-Sunday 11:00 AM-11:00 PM. An unmissable appointment for those who wish to experience the authenticity of the local community through food and conviviality.
