About Festa della Madonna del Carmine di Ballò
The Carmine festival in the hamlet of Ballò
The Festa della Madonna del Carmine is the festival that, in mid-July, enlivens the hamlet of Ballò, in Mirano, province of Venice. It takes place in the parish area of San Bartolomeo Apostolo and revolves around devotion to the Madonna del Carmine, whose liturgical feast day falls on July 16th.
Solemn Mass and procession
The religious heart of the festival is the solemn Mass with the procession in honour of the Madonna del Carmine, a moment cherished by the community of Ballò that also draws faithful from neighbouring villages. The festival days unfold around this celebration, offering the chance for a stroll through the hamlet's territory.
The cuisine of the Venetian hinterland
The food stand offers traditional home-style cooking from the Venetian hinterland: whipped cod, fried fish, gnocchi, bigoi in salsa, pasta with ragù, cheese, and polenta. The evenings are accompanied by music, in a village festival atmosphere that makes this event one of the most anticipated summer moments in Ballò. The event is organised by the Parish of San Bartolomeo Apostolo.
