In Alta Gattorna, the feast of the Madonna della Guardia is celebrated at the S. Giacomo sports field, featuring four evenings dedicated to tradition, gastronomy, and live music. From August 28 to 31, 2026, the food stands serve traditional Ligurian dishes and festival specialties, including focaccia al formaggio, trofie, ravioli, penne all'arrabbiata, ribs, sausages, and desserts. The evening entertainment program features a rich lineup of musical shows: take the floor with major dance orchestras like Matteo Tarantino and Marianna Lanteri, or enjoy disco nights with Danieli, Robbi Rocca, and DJ Guru. Additional highlights include artisan market stalls and the traditional show of 'mascoli' (traditional Ligurian firecrackers), light displays, and fireworks along the Neirone creek on the evening of August 30.
