The feast of Saint Mary of Consolation, patron saint of Todi
The Feast of Our Lady of Consolation is the main religious and civil event in Todi, in the province of Perugia. It is dedicated to Saint Mary of Consolation, whose devotion is linked to the famous Renaissance temple at the foot of the city, a 16th-century architectural masterpiece attributed to Bramante's school. The celebrations are concentrated around September 8th, the feast of the Nativity of the Virgin.
For several days, the city experiences an intertwining of religious and cultural moments: the triduum of prayer and solemn masses, the Sacred Music Festival with choral and organ music concerts, the market fair along the streets of the center, Renaissance games for families organized by the Medieval Company of Todi, and cultural and literary initiatives. The feast traditionally concludes with a highly anticipated fireworks display.
Organized by ETAB La Consolazione with the Municipality of Todi and the ecclesial community, the feast represents a moment of strong identity for the people of Todi, capable of uniting the spiritual dimension with the convivial one. For visitors, it is the ideal opportunity to admire the Temple of Our Lady of Consolation at its most vibrant and discover one of Umbria's most deeply rooted traditions.
The 2026 edition of the Feast of Our Lady of Consolation renews the tradition that each year brings the people of Todi together around the Temple of Saint Mary of Consolation. The days, between September 5th and 8th, alternate the triduum of prayer, the solemn masses of September 8th presided over by the Bishop, the concerts of the Sacred Music Festival, the market fair along the streets of the center, and cultural and recreational moments for all ages. At dusk on September 8th, the fireworks display concludes the feast.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition is being published by ETAB La Consolazione and the Municipality of Todi. Based on tradition, the days include:
