Festa Regionale Cavolo dell’Adige

In the Veronese plains, Castagnaro celebrates one of the noblest vegetables of Venetian farming tradition: the Cavolo dell'Adige. From October 17-20, 2026, the Regional Festival transforms the town into a sensory journey through the authentic flavors of local cuisine, where this ancient vegetable reveals its full culinary versatility. From braised cabbage with sausage to soups with beans and croutons, from a side dish for boiled meats and cotechino to more creative recipes, cabbage becomes the absolute star of a gastronomic story rooted in collective memory. The event is far more than a simple culinary celebration: it is a genuine tribute to the land, agricultural work, and the identity of a community that honors its origins. Food stalls alternate with engaging tastings, while local markets showcase artisanal and local products. The atmosphere comes alive with musical performances, agricultural exhibitions, and fascinating parades of vintage vehicles that tell the story of Venetian countryside life. Perfect for families, with dedicated children's areas and interactive spaces, the Festa Regionale del Cavolo dell'Adige offers a unique opportunity to breathe in the authentic essence of rural Veneto, where the aroma of cabbage and spices intertwines with the scent of freshly baked bread.
