Tradition and flavors in Orcenico Superiore

From July 2nd to 12th, 2026, the town of Orcenico Superiore, a district of the municipality of Zoppola, welcomes the new edition of the Shrimp Festival. Organized with care by the Pro Loco Il Tiglio and supported by the patronage of the Municipality of Zoppola, the event follows in the wake of the area's convivial traditions, celebrating a unique gastronomic resource of the region.

A journey through gastronomy and conviviality

The centerpiece of the culinary offering is represented by shrimp-based preparations, presented through recipes that enhance their organoleptic properties. The event calendar includes, for Saturdays and Sundays, the addition of grilled meat to the menu, thus catering to different taste preferences. The organizers provide dedicated spaces that allow for dining in a setting of community sociality.

Art, music, and entertainment

Alongside the dining activities, the event offers a rich entertainment program. Every evening, the stage will host ballroom orchestras, cover bands, and DJ sets, ensuring a variety of musical genres. For fans of sports and social interaction, briscola tournaments with significant prizes are planned.

Cultural offerings are found in the Civic Center, which hosts an exhibition dedicated to the works of Alessandro Lozzer. This space, a valuable reference point for the social life of Zoppola, serves as a backdrop for an artistic journey that engages with the community spirit of the festival. Finally, there are areas dedicated to dance performances, with a focus on standard and Latin-American styles, as well as specific spaces designed for the amusement of younger attendees, highlighting the transversal nature of the initiative.
