About Assumption Festival
Ferragosto Festivities in Anconetta
The Anconetta Assumption Festival is the celebration that enlivens the Anconetta district in Vicenza every mid-August. Tied to the feast of the Assumption of Mary (August 15th), it takes place at the football field on Via Anconetta 147 and retains its religious roots: the Anconetta church remains open with moments of prayer during the festival.
A Week of Great Food
The heart of the festival is the rich gastronomic stand, open every evening, offering first courses, main courses, sandwiches, cold dishes, skewers, and – above all – the renowned Anconetta Frittella, a specialty that defines the festival. A well-stocked cocktail bar is also available.
Music, Wine, and Tradition
Evenings are accompanied by live music and orchestras, while initiatives like «CantiAnconetta» stand out, featuring tastings of excellent DOC wines. With children's games and dance performances, the Assumption Festival is one of the most cherished events of Vicenza's Ferragosto, uniting faith, tradition, and conviviality in the district of Vicenza, in Veneto.
