The "most original non-beer festival of the summer" in Saonara
The Assumption Festival, known as Saonara di Note, is the big mid-summer festival in Saonara (province of Padua). Linked to the Assumption holiday in mid-August, the event presents itself with an ironic and original identity: it calls itself "the most original non-beer festival of the summer", a declared remedy against heat, rain, mosquitoes, and stress.
The program alternates between the food stall with traditional dishes and a sandwich bar accompanied by live music. The evenings range from ballroom dancing to free Latin and Caribbean nights, offering entertainment for all age groups and musical styles.
The classic elements of a Venetian festival are not missing: the funfair for the little ones, the charity raffle, and the book market. The festival thus combines the popular and convivial dimension with a touch of lightness that makes it recognizable in the panorama of Paduan festivals.
Saonara di Note is the event that brings together the community of Saonara and visitors from neighboring towns during the Ferragosto period, confirming itself as one of the most popular summer festivals in the Padua hinterland.
The Assumption Festival - Saonara di Note will also take place in 2026 in mid-August, coinciding with the Assumption holiday. The event will repeat its ironic and varied formula: food stalls, a sandwich bar with live music, ballroom dancing, free Latin and Caribbean nights, a funfair, a charity raffle, and a book market.
