Festa della Fragola (Strawberry Festival)

When May paints the Verona plains red, Bonavigo transforms into a captivating celebration of the strawberry—the fruit that has defined local agriculture for centuries. The Festa della Fragola, returning this year from April 30 to May 10, 2027, is an unmissable opportunity to discover how a simple berry can tell stories of tradition, passion, and territorial identity. Rooted in the 18th century, strawberry cultivation in Bonavigo represents an agricultural heritage passed down through generations with the same care that gives the fruit its full flavor and distinctive, enveloping aroma. The town comes alive with authentic colors, fragrances, and flavors: from food stalls offering the renowned strawberry risotto, handmade jams and fragrant tarts, to the simplest yet delightful cups of fresh strawberries with lemon and cream. It is a festival that goes beyond the table, transforming into a true cultural stage where musical performances, thematic exhibitions, and family workshops unfold over unforgettable days. Organized by the Festival Committee with support from the Pro Loco and municipal administration, this event represents far more than a simple market showcase: it is a tribute to the territory, a moment to rediscover the values of authentic agriculture, and to breathe the true essence of the Veronese community, where the strawberry becomes a symbol of conviviality and belonging.
