About Festa dei Veneti

Every September, Cittadella, in the province of Padua, hosts the Festa dei Veneti: a grand celebration of the identity, history, and traditions of the Veneto people. Organized by the Raixe Venete association in Piazza Pierobon and the historic center of the walled city, the festival combines conferences on Veneto history, traditional cuisine, music, and cultural insights, attracting enthusiasts from across the region.

The festival of Venetian identity

The Festa dei Veneti is the event that every year, in September, celebrates the identity, history, and traditions of the Veneto people in Cittadella (province of Padua). Promoted by the Raixe Venete association, the festival takes place in Piazza Pierobon and the historic center of the walled city, a deliberate choice for an event that places the historical memory of Veneto at its heart.
