This year, there will be a stand entirely dedicated to beers from Belgium, featuring both classic and modern interpretations of more and less known styles. The Bluebeat Corner will offer a selection of beloved producers. In the three evenings, an increasingly large and rich food area will give the opportunity to enjoy hamburgers and pulled pork, bombettes, meatballs, parmesan dishes, chips, fried foods, and much more. At "Nuvole" terraces, the cocktail bar and bistro of the Flying Castle, you can enjoy the proposals of Andrea Mazzola and Diletta Bagordo, sipping a drink carefully chosen from the list by Michele Contini.
