Cazzago Festival
Six days of September with barbecues, music, and community in the hamlet of Cazzago
About Cazzago Festival
A Festival Born for the Community
The Cazzago Festival is the celebration of the hamlet of Cazzago di Pianiga, a municipality in the Riviera del Brenta in the province of Venice. Born in 1968 as a fundraiser for the parish kindergarten, it is still managed today by the Parish of San Martino and has grown over the years to become one of the most cherished September events in the area.
Gastronomy and Music
The festival offers six days of gastronomy, music, and sharing. The food stand opens every evening from 7:00 PM, preceded by the aperitif area from 6:30 PM, with traditional dishes prepared with local products - especially grilled meats. The evenings are enlivened by live concerts, while thematic exhibitions, a charity raffle, lotteries, and stalls revolve around the festival.
The Spirit of Cazzago
More than a gastronomic event, the Cazzago Festival is an identity moment for the hamlet: an occasion for the community to come together, around themes that the parish proposes each year as food for thought. A celebration that attracts people not only from Cazzago but also from nearby towns, keeping alive the spirit of village festivals in the Riviera del Brenta.
Cazzago and the Brenta Riviera
A hamlet of Pianiga along the ancient road to Venice, Cazzago is located in the heart of the Brenta Riviera, famous for its Venetian villas overlooking the Naviglio canal. The festival is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Venetian mainland, away from the major tourist flows.
