The Grape Festival – Wine & Folk returns with two major new features. On Sunday, September 6, Piazza Drago will be the new heart of the festival, replacing Piazza Marconi. And along Via Mameli, the festival will come alive with the roaming music of the Funkasin Street Band and a food and wine tour featuring local businesses and farms from the area.

With its roots in rural traditions, the Grape Festival celebrates the end of the grape harvest with folklore, entertainment, camaraderie, and fun, featuring floats, live music, dancing, and activities for the whole family.

In Piazza Drago, along with the parade’s arrival, there will be wine experiences, including barefoot grape stomping, workshops for children, and tastings. Via Mameli, on the other hand, will host food and wine stands featuring local products, with the participation of Ferrowine, Le Torri, Infioreria, I-Sushi, Amante Jesolo, Il Corso, Hotel Rosa, Al Saor, Azienda Agricola Niu River, and Azienda Agricola Biodinamica San Michele.

The program will kick off on Saturday, September 5, in Piazza Torino, with a parade of floats starting at 8:00 p.m. on Via Scarpa. Awaiting the public will be a wine experience featuring barefoot grape stomping, children’s workshops organized by Il Salice delle Meraviglie, bucolic-themed performances, displays inspired by the countryside, and tastings of grapes and local wine. Starting at 8:30 p.m., there will be dancing with the Linda Biscaro Orchestra.

On Sunday, September 6, starting at 8:00 p.m., the festivities will take place in Piazza Drago and along Via Mameli. Starting at 8:30 p.m., there will be live music by the Annalisa Group and traditional dance performances in collaboration with A.S.D. Diamante.

The event is organized by Pro Loco Jesolo, in collaboration with Jesolo Venice Srl and the City of Jesolo.
