About Assumption Festival
The Assumption Festival in Fossaragna
The Assumption Festival is the patronal feast of Fossaragna, a hamlet in the municipality of Bovolenta in the low plains of the province of Padua. Linked to the devotion to Saint Mary of the Assumption, celebrated on August 15th, it is one of the most heartfelt events of the local Ferragosto, bringing the parish community together around tradition and conviviality.
Flavors and Evenings of Celebration
The heart of the festival is the food stand, offering traditional Venetian dishes with its most beloved specialties: grilled chicken and arrosticini. The evenings are enlivened by music and dancing with regional orchestras, while a charity raffle accompanies the festival in support of the community.
