The historic San Martino fair with the Gran Maronada in Velo d'Astico
The Antica Sagra de San Martin is the historic autumn fair of Velo d'Astico, in the province of Vicenza, linked to the feast of San Martino. An event that combines the agricultural and rural dimension of the territory with the village festival, with a rich program spread over several days.
Among the highlights are the agricultural fair with the market exhibition of typical products and crafts, the tractor parade, music, and shows. The concluding Sunday is the most intense: the tractor gathering in the morning, the opening of the fair, the blessing and parade, and the food stand with traditional dishes.
The most anticipated moment is the Gran Maronada: the large distribution of roasted chestnuts accompanied by wine, which attracts residents and visitors every year. Organized by the Pro Loco of Velo d'Astico, the sagra is one of the most heartfelt autumn festivals in the Alto Vicentino, at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti.
In 2026 too, Velo d'Astico celebrates its Antica Sagra de San Martin in early November. The event renews the formula of the agricultural fair with a market exhibition, tractor parade, music, and shows.
The concluding Sunday is the main day: in the morning, the tractor gathering (9:30 AM), the opening of the fair (10:00 AM), the blessing and parade (11:00 AM), the food stand (12:30 PM), and in the afternoon, the Gran Maronada with roasted chestnuts and wine (2:00 PM). Precise dates and detailed program will be announced by the Pro Loco of Velo d'Astico.
