The patronal festival of summer in Rigosa di Algua
In Rigosa, a hamlet of the Municipality of Algua in the Serina Valley, Bergamo province, the patron saint is the Madonna del Carmine, celebrated according to tradition on the third Sunday of July. The festival originated from Marian devotion but has evolved over time to include all the elements of a traditional village festival.
The heart of the festival is the Rigosa sports field, where typical Bergamo cuisine is served under a marquee. For the little ones, there are free inflatable games, while the evening comes alive with dance music and concludes with a spectacular fireworks display.
Organized by the Pro Loco Rigosa, the festival is the main summer event for this small hamlet in the Bergamo Orobie Alps. For those exploring the Serina Valley, it's an opportunity to discover the genuine hospitality of mountain villages and the flavors of Bergamo tradition.
The 2026 edition of the Festa della Madonna del Carmine in Rigosa is expected on the usual date of the third Sunday of July, in honor of the patron saint of Algua.
The program will reprise the traditional format: typical Bergamo cuisine under the marquee at the sports field, free inflatable games for children, evening dance music, and the final fireworks display. The precise dates and detailed program will be announced by Pro Loco Rigosa.
