Celery Festival - Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows
The local celery is the star in the hamlet of Campese
About Campese Celery Festival
Campese and its Celery
Campese is a hamlet of Bassano del Grappa (province of Vicenza), overlooking the Brenta river at the foot of the Brenta Canal. Here, every mid-September, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows is celebrated along with the Celery Festival, dedicated to the renowned campese celery, a prized and crunchy local vegetable.
Between Faith and Agricultural Tradition
The festival combines the religious dimension — with the solemn mass and the procession with the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows accompanied by the band — with the popular one. The most anticipated moment is the celery competition, with the evaluation and tasting of campese celery with dipping sauce, which attracts producers and curious visitors.
Music, Games, and Food Stand
The evenings come alive with concerts, karaoke, baby dance, traditional games, sports competitions, and a photography contest. The food stand offers traditional dishes, with campese celery as a special ingredient. An authentic village festival, organized by the hamlet committee, where the product of the land becomes a community celebration.
