C'era una volta... La Festa dei Borghi
A three-day neighbourhood festa in Nizza — the Pro Loco's belecauda, ravioli and grill, ballroom and DJ nights, an open-air family film, and beach-volley in the oratory grounds.
Why it's special
A proper local Pro Loco festa rather than a tourist event: Nizza-style street food (belecauda, ravioli, grill), Nuovo Birrificio Nicese beer at the oratory bar, and a family film night to close — the kind of warm, unpolished summer evening the town does for itself.
Programme · 2026
- Food from 19:00 by the Pro Loco di Nizza; music from ~21:15, DJ sets from 22:00.
- The Sunday closes with an open-air family film.
- Beach volley + bocce tournaments and a kids' area run through it; the oratory bar does cocktails.
For three evenings in August the Pro Loco di Nizza throws "La Festa dei Borghi" — a neighbourhood festa in Nizza Monferrato rather than a visitor event, which is exactly its charm. Tables of belecauda, ravioli and grill from seven, the oratory bar pouring cocktails and Nuovo Birrificio Nicese beer, ballroom dancing and DJ nights, and a Sunday that ends with an open-air family film.
There's beach volley and bocce, a kids' area, and — the poster's proud "novità" — an anti-mosquito system. Come hungry and stay for the music. Dates and the night-by-night line-up above.
