Festa della Madonna della Rocca
The patronal festival of Vobarno, in Valle Sabbia
About Madonna della Rocca
The Madonna, protector of Vobarno
The Festa della Madonna della Rocca is the patronal festival of Vobarno, a municipality in Valle Sabbia in the province of Brescia. It is dedicated to the Madonna della Rocca, venerated as the guardian and protector of the town.
A sanctuary linked to a wartime vow
The Rocca is a small church located in the mountains above Vobarno. The devotion has its roots in the war years, when the citizens made a vow to the Madonna: in 2025, the community celebrated the eightieth anniversary of the Madonna della Rocca, a testament to a vibrant and deeply felt tradition.
Between spirituality and village festival
The heart of the celebration is the solemn mass at the sanctuary, followed by the procession through the historic streets of the village. The more convivial moments unfold around the religious celebration: food stalls with typical local dishes, sweets, and wines, and opportunities for community gathering. The festival, organised by the parish and the oratory of Vobarno, combines faith, age-old traditions, and social life in the setting of the Brescia's Valle Sabbia.
