Credera in Festa
The patronal festival of San Donnino in the heart of Cremasco
About Credera in Festa
The festival of the patron saint of Cremasco
In Credera Rubbiano, a small municipality in the Cremasco countryside in the province of Cremona, autumn brings the most cherished festival of the year: Credera in Festa, the patronal festival dedicated to San Donnino, celebrated on October 12th. The occasion intertwines the religious and popular dimensions, bringing the entire community together around its traditions in the heart of the Cremasco region.
Piazza Europa, heart of the festival
The centre of the festival is Piazza Europa, which for the occasion comes alive with stalls, a food area with traditional local flavours, live music, and games for children. It's the classic formula of a Lombard village festival, where the market, good food, and entertainment blend into a day of celebration that also attracts residents from nearby villages.
San Donnino and tradition
The festival is rooted in the devotion to Saint Donnino the Martyr, patron saint of Credera Rubbiano. In some editions, the festival has also taken on the characteristics of a medieval festival, with craft markets in front of the church of San Donnino, street artists, music, and period dances: a nod to history that enriches the bond between the village and its past.
Why it's worth it
Credera in Festa is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of Cremasco, far from the tourist trails. Amidst the local flavours, music, and the atmosphere of a true village festival, it is an ideal event to experience autumn in the countryside of the province of Cremona.
