Mais&Cavalli in Vigone is a festival deeply rooted in Piedmontese agricultural tradition, celebrating two fundamental elements of local identity: corn cultivation and harness horse breeding. Taking place from October 17–19, 2026, the event offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in local rural culture, where the ancient bond between people, land, and animals continues to tell stories of dedication and traditional wisdom. The heart of the festival beats around the food and wine experience: the local Pro Loco presents authentic dishes where corn takes centre stage, from polenta in its many variations—creamy, with sausage, beef stew, cod, gorgonzola, or paired with traditional bagna cauda—to craft beers and cocktails that complete the gastronomic offerings. Yet Mais&Cavalli extends far beyond food: equestrian shows alternate with concerts, street performer acts, photography exhibitions, and taste workshops, creating a diverse programme suited for all ages. Art and culture enthusiasts will enjoy «Panchine d'Artista», a project supported by the Piedmont Region and CRT Foundation that brings contemporary art to the festival grounds. The event also features nostalgic displays of vintage tractors, classic cars and motorcycles, along with performances celebrating rural heritage—creating an extraordinarily rich cultural experience.
