About Festa del Sorriso

The Festa del Sorriso is the parish festival of Sant'Anna in Piove di Sacco, in the province of Padua, relaunched by the Pastoral Unit with a new, meaningful name. For about ten days in July, the parish grounds come alive with a food stand, a piadina kiosk, live music, theatre evenings, and cultural events, all centred around the patronal feast of Sant'Anna on July 26th. A community event fostering conviviality and reflection.

The festival that puts relationships at the centre

The Festa del Sorriso is the new name for the Sagra di Sant'Anna, the parish festival of one of the communities that make up the Pastoral Unit of Piove di Sacco, in the province of Padua. The name, chosen by the Pastoral Unit, reflects the spirit of the event: a festival that aims to strengthen relationships and offer opportunities for meeting and reflection for everyone.

Food, music, and culture

For about ten days, the spaces of the parish of Sant'Anna host the food stand with a varied menu on weekends, a piadina kiosk on weekdays, evenings of live music, theatrical monologues, and cultural guests, in a program that alternates entertainment with moments of deeper engagement.
