Festa del Bacalà 2020 Sandrigo does not give up on tradition by focusing on safety

The Festa del Bacalà alla Vicentina returns to Sandrigo (Vicenza) from 16 to 21 September 2020 . The thirty-third edition of the event that celebrates the main dish of the Venetian culinary tradition will be shorter than in other years, concentrating in one week. The organization will be set up in such a way that it can only be accessed by reservation and in full compliance with the rules of social distancing . The entrances will in fact be staggered and visitors will be served directly at the tables. “We wanted to carry on the tradition of the Festa del Bacalà even in this difficult period - underlines Antonio Chemello , president of Pro Sandrigo - ours is certainly one of the most important festivals in Veneto and it seemed right to give a sign of hope to a sector that he is suffering a lot. We have also created a network of collaborations on the territory that has led to the organization of a series of events spread during the festival period and for the entire month of September in restaurants, cellars, clubs and places of art all aimed at celebrating the bacalà alla vicentina ". Absolute protagonist will inevitably be stockfish, prepared according to the classic coded recipe. You will taste the bacalà as tradition wishes, accompanied by polenta with a spoon, or in one of the variations presented on the various evenings, including the gnocchi and the risotto with bacalà.
