Enna Festival - Patronal Feast of Saint John the Baptist

The festival of the Enna hamlet

The Enna Festival is the patronal feast of Saint John the Baptist, celebrated in the Enna hamlet, part of Torrebelvicino, in the province of Vicenza. It takes place around June 24th, the day of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, and is one of the most characteristic events of summer in Val Leogra: a mountain festival, nestled among woods and hamlets, with a panorama opening onto the entire valley.

Between faith and celebration

The religious heart of the event is the solemn mass in honor of the patron saint, accompanied during the festival days by community gatherings. Around the church, the food stand is set up, offering traditional Vicenza dishes, while the evenings are enlivened by music and dancing. The charity raffle, always a part of village festivals in the Vicenza area, is also present.

Walks and panoramas

The location of the Enna hamlet, above Torrebelvicino, makes the festival an ideal occasion for walks through the hamlets of Val Leogra, discovering paths, chapels, and views of Alto Vicentino. Past editions have also included an exhibition of sacred vestments, highlighting the festival's connection to the religious history of the place.

A community celebration

Organized by the parish community with the support of Pro Loco Torrebelvicino, the Enna Festival is an example of an identity festival for small mountain hamlets, where devotion to the patron saint becomes an opportunity for meeting, hospitality, and local enhancement.
