About San Fermo

Every early August, in Sulzano on Lake Iseo, the community gathers around the evocative little church of San Fermo, protector of children and livestock. Along the path leading to the building, amidst the woods above the village, several days of celebration unfold with solemn masses, food stalls, musical evenings, and moments of conviviality. Organized by the Associazione Culturale San Fermo, it is one of the most cherished events of the Sebino summer.

The little church of San Fermo

The Festa di San Fermo revolves around the church of the same name, the heart of the summer life of the community of Sulzano, on the Brescia side of Lake Iseo. San Fermo is venerated as the protector of children and livestock, and the festival celebrating him in early August is a deeply rooted tradition in the village.

Days of celebration

The event unfolds along the path leading to the little church, immersed in greenery above the village. The program alternates religious moments—with solemn masses—with festive occasions: food stalls, musical evenings, games, and recreational activities liven up the days, in a convivial atmosphere that attracts residents and holidaymakers alike.

A community festival

Organized by the Associazione Culturale San Fermo, the festival is much more than a religious observance: it is a moment of identity for Sulzano, in the province of Brescia, which every summer renews the bond between the village and its beloved place, in one of the most beautiful natural settings of the Sebino.

San Fermo — edition 2026

The Festa di San Fermo returns to Sulzano in early August 2026, around the little church dedicated to the saint. The exact dates will be announced by the Associazione Culturale San Fermo in the weeks prior. The program will alternate, as per tradition, solemn masses, food stalls, and musical evenings.

In 2026, the Festa di San Fermo is again expected in Sulzano in early August, along the path leading to the little church. The event confirms its dual nature, religious and popular, with solemn masses alongside food stalls and music evenings.

The precise dates for the 2026 edition will be announced by the Associazione Culturale San Fermo, which organizes the event. The festival remains one of the most cherished summer events for the community, set in a natural landscape amidst the woods above Lake Iseo.
