From 1 to 11 October 2026, Rivera di Almese comes alive again with the 27th edition of "Arte, Artigianato, Musica e… Siole Pien-e", the festival celebrating the flat blond onion from Piedmont at the heart of the patron saint feast of Madonna del Rosario. Eleven days of events spread across restaurants, public spaces and meeting places, with a programme blending gastronomy, art, crafts, music and local traditions. The signature dish is siole pien-e, stuffed onions prepared according to the traditional recipe, available on pre-order in convenient takeaway trays. Alongside tastings, the event offers art exhibitions, children's shows, sports tournaments, vintage car rallies, guided tours of the Medieval Tower and a dinner with theatrical performance. All events are confirmed even in bad weather thanks to ample indoor spaces.
