The Festa dell'Uva of Borgomanero is one of the most anticipated events on the Piedmont festival calendar, with a history rooted in nearly a century of tradition. In 2026, the festival reaches an extraordinary milestone: its 77th edition and 90th anniversary since its first celebration, confirming its central role in the cultural and gastronomic life of the Borgomanero community. This event represents the perfect blend of grape harvest celebration, a heritage that defines the territory, and the promotion of Piedmont's finest food and wine offerings. From September 5 to 13, Borgomanero's historic centre will transform into a vibrant stage of taste, tradition, and entertainment. The Grande Tapulonata, the signature dish embodying the festival's gastronomic soul, will be accompanied by performances from renowned artists including Enrico Ruggeri, Orietta Berti, and Sarah Toscano, drawing visitors from across the region. The Palio degli Asini, the Parco del Gusto featuring small-scale Piedmont producers, and evenings organised by local associations round out a programme that masterfully combines entertainment, culture, and excellent cuisine. The parade of allegorical and vintage harvest floats on September 12 will be one of the festival's most symbolic moments, as the historic centre's streets are adorned with the beauty and creativity of themed representations. The Festa dell'Uva of Borgomanero remains an unmissable opportunity to discover the authentic face of Piedmont tradition, where wine and the grape harvest are not merely products, but expressions of a deep and shared cultural identity.
