Feast of the Assumption - Patronal Feast of Foza

The Patronal Feast of the Plateau

The Feast of the Assumption is the patronal feast of Foza, a municipality on the Asiago Plateau Seven Municipalities in the province of Vicenza, dedicated to Mary Most Holy Assumed, the patroness of the parish church. The celebrations focus around August 15th, the day of the Assumption, and bring the town center to life with religious and civil ceremonies.

Faith, Vow, and Tradition

The heart of the feast is the solemn mass in the parish church, accompanied by moments of devotion that have been part of the life of the Foza community for generations. The feast is linked to an ancient vow to the Holy Assumption, which is renewed every five years with the grand "quinquennali" (five-year celebrations), particularly solemn and well-attended editions that involve the entire town in renewing the spiritual commitment to the patroness.

Shows and Conviviality

Alongside the religious dimension, the feast offers shows, live music, aperitifs with the band, and entertainment for all ages, including water, light, and color shows. It is an opportunity to experience summer on the Plateau and discover Foza, a village immersed in nature among meadows, pastures, and woods, in a context of strong historical and cultural identity linked to the Cimbrian community of the Seven Municipalities.
