Festa di San Fermo
The summer festival around the little church of Sulzano
About San Fermo
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
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.
