Feast of Saint Eugene
Four days of patronal feast in Noli, between a sea procession and fireworks on the pier
About Saint Eugene in Noli
Saint Eugene, Patron Saint of Noli
Noli, in the Province of Savona, is one of the most charming villages on the Riviera di Ponente, proud of its past as a Maritime Republic. In July, the town celebrates its patron saint, Saint Eugene, with a festival that spans four days and is the most anticipated event of the summer for the Noli community.
Faith and the Sea
The religious program is the heart of the festival. The solemn Mass on Sunday is presided over by the Bishop in the Cathedral of San Pietro, while the ancient relics are displayed and then returned to their place on the opening and closing days. The most evocative moment is the boat procession to Bergeggi Island, a maritime procession that combines the spiritual dimension with the village's seafaring heritage.
Village, Fair, and Fireworks on the Pier
The festival is also an opportunity to experience Noli in all its beauty: guided tours of the medieval historic center, the fair with stalls along the streets, fried fish, and a photographic exhibition dedicated to the village. The grand finale is the fireworks display launched from the Sant'Antonio Pier, with the possibility of admiring it also from a panoramic viewpoint reachable by an evening excursion. Four days that tell the soul of Noli, between faith, history, and the sea.
