The 2017 Grape Festival arrives in Solopaca with the parade of allegorical floats, the Bandabardò concert, tastings, wine and much more!
La Solopoca Grape Festival returns again this year reaching a very important milestone, the fortieth edition of a renowned festival in the Benevento area, but which attracts visitors from all over Campania.
Indeed, Solopaca is famous for its own DOC wines produced thanks to the many vineyards found in the fields throughout the area. This year the party will take place from the 6 to the 14 September 2017 and the program of events, concerts, tastings and activities also includes the parade of allegorical floats on 10 September, real works of art with statues covered with grapes and much more.
Among the free concerts not to be missed is that of Bandabardò that, with its vitality, will make you dance and entertain as much as I can. There will be also SongSolopaca, an original musical kiosk run by the young people of Solopaca and, of course, there will be tasteless routes with samples of exquisite local products.
Here is the detailed program of all the events.
