Credera in Festa

The Feast of the Cremasco Patron Saint

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 feast 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 Feast

The center of the celebration is Piazza Europa, which for the occasion comes alive with stalls, a food area with local traditional flavors, live music, and games for children. It's the classic formula of a Lombard village feast, where the market, good food, and entertainment merge into a day of celebration that also attracts residents from nearby villages.

San Donnino and Tradition

The feast has its roots in the devotion to Saint Donnino the Martyr, patron saint of Credera Rubbiano. In some editions, the feast has also taken on the character 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 usual tourist routes. Amidst local flavors, music, and the atmosphere of a true village festival, it's an ideal event to experience autumn in the countryside of the province of Cremona.
