La Pera a Galliera is a celebration dedicated to promoting pear cultivation and rural heritage in the Bolognese plains. Organized by the local Pro Loco and the Municipality of Galliera in collaboration with agricultural associations, the festival brings together local growers and traditions where pear farming plays a vital role in local identity. The fruit takes center stage at the food stands, featured in both savory and sweet specialties: the menu offers highlights such as ricotta and pear tortelloni, roast pork loin with chickpeas and pear, cheese platters paired with pears, homemade cakes, and the signature 'A-Peri-Tivo' cocktail, alongside classic Emilian recipes. The festival also hosts 'Sapor di Pera', a culinary forum connecting pear-based culinary traditions from Emilia-Romagna and across Italy. Visitors can also enjoy a vibrant lineup of countryside-themed entertainment, including vintage and modern agricultural machinery displays, tractor gatherings, classic car and motorcycle shows, themed markets, live music, performances, and family-friendly activities.
