About Ancient Festival of Contea
Two Centuries of Tradition
The Ancient Festival of Contea, linked to the feast of Madonna della Salute (November 21st), is one of the oldest festivals in the Marca Trevigiana: with over 230 editions, it has roots in a distant past and represents a cornerstone in the life of the hamlet of Contea-Busta, in Montebelluna, province of Treviso.
Community, Faith, and Good Food
The festival takes place over several days in November and combines the religious dimension — the celebrations for Madonna della Salute — with the convivial aspect, featuring lunches and dinners with local products prepared by volunteers. It is an occasion for the inhabitants of the hamlet and visitors from the surrounding areas to gather, where popular and devotional traditions intertwine.
An Authentic Village Festival
Organized by the Parish of Busta-Contea, the Ancient Festival of Contea preserves the genuine character of Venetian village festivals, founded on volunteerism and the connection to the liturgical calendar. An event that, year after year, renews the identity of a small community in the Montebelluna area.
