Festa dea Sardea
The sardine festival of Robegano, with saòr, grill, and seafood flavors
About Festa dea Sardea
The Sardine Festival
The Festa dea Sardea is the festival of Robegano, a hamlet of the Municipality of Salzano, in the metropolitan city of Venice. The name, in Venetian dialect, refers to the sardine: the humble fish that is the absolute star of the event, prepared according to traditional lagoon recipes.
Sardines in a Thousand Ways
The cooks of the Robeganese group offer sardines grilled, fried, or in the classic saòr, the ancient Venetian preparation based on onions, vinegar, raisins, and pine nuts. Alongside the signature dish, the stand offers grilled cuttlefish, unmissable fried platters, and mixed fish grills, in a menu that tells the story of Veneto's relationship with the sea.
Under the Marquee in Via Mameli
The festival is held in the marquee in via Mameli, in the Stadium area of Robegano, and spans multiple weekends between late August and mid-September, with dancing evenings, live music, and moments of conviviality for families.
Festa dea Sardea — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of the Festa dea Sardea returns to Robegano di Salzano, under the marquee on via Mameli in the Stadium area. The event, organized by the Robeganese group, takes place over multiple weekends between late August and mid-September.
In the kitchen, the sardine is the queen of Venetian tradition — grilled, fried, or in saòr — accompanied by grilled cuttlefish, fried platters, and mixed grills. The evenings are enlivened by music and dancing.
