Festa 72h non stop a CastelMella (72-Hour Non-Stop Festival)

Castel Mella is preparing for three unforgettable days with the 72-Hour Non-Stop Festival at the Fontanone, an event that combines the pleasure of good food with solidarity. From August 21-23, 2026, this charming Brescia town comes alive with conviviality and fun, offering visitors the perfect occasion to gather and share special moments with the community. The festival reaches its highlight on Saturday at lunch with the traditional spiedo with polenta, a signature dish of authentic Lombard cuisine and the star of the celebration. To secure a portion, advance reservation is required via WhatsApp at 339 4586130, with convenient takeaway options available. This specialty is more than just a culinary experience—it's a gesture of generosity toward those in need. Three days filled with entertainment and togetherness, featuring live music accompanying the evenings (Friday and Saturday from 8:00 PM), daytime family activities, traditional games, and a dedicated children's area. The festival opens at 11:00 AM until late into the night, with diverse food offerings and refreshment stands to suit every taste. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Fontanone transforms into a modern gathering place where tradition and conviviality meet under the stars. Particularly noteworthy is the festival's charitable dimension: part of the proceeds from spiedo sales will be donated to Centro Bresciano Down, an association dedicated to supporting children, young people, and families living with Down syndrome. This partnership makes the festival a concrete opportunity for inclusion and solidarity, where every bite contributes to educational, therapeutic, and skills development projects. A festival rooted in community values, where good taste and good hearts walk together toward a shared goal of wellbeing, dignity, and social inclusion.
