Festivals and events
Village fairs, patron saint feasts, concerts and markets: the squares and halls of Ovada come alive more often than you would think. Here you find what is on the calendar, with date and place; the full programme is on the Piazza in Festa page.
Rural Pop-Up bridges organisers and the municipality: the same public spaces that host these feasts can be rented for an event of your own, with a simple request and clear prices.
By date. Titles and dates come from the municipality's public records and are refreshed every hour.
