About Ferragosto Ardesiano
Ardesio's Summer in Ten Days of Celebration
Ferragosto Ardesiano is the large umbrella for summer events that the Pro Loco Ardesio organizes every year in mid-August, in Ardesio, in the upper Valle Seriana, in the province of Bergamo. For about ten days, the village in Bergamo experiences a succession of daytime and evening events, focused on music, culture, and conviviality.
A Program for All Tastes
The Ferragosto Ardesiano calendar spans different genres and audiences:
- live concerts and musical aperitifs, from reggae to jazz to artist tributes
- theatre encounters and staged readings
- book presentations and meetings with authors
- screenings and cultural events
- board games, tombola (bingo), and entertainment for families
Tradition and Patronal Festivities
The central part of the event is linked to the patronal festivities and the feast of San Rocco on August 16th, with a community dinner and a fireworks display to symbolically close the summer festival season. The events take place mainly outdoors, in the village squares and hamlets like Valcanale.
A Village to Experience in Summer
Ardesio, recognized with an Orange Flag by the Touring Club Italiano, is a popular tourist destination for its historic center, the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie, and the Orobie trails. Ferragosto Ardesiano is the ideal opportunity to discover it at the height of its summer vitality.
