The festival of the patron saint and the De.Co. bucatini from Lugo di Vicenza
The Festa di San Giovanni Battista is the patronal sagra (traditional festival) of Lugo di Vicenza, a town in the Alto Vicentino area of the province of Vicenza. Saint John the Baptist, celebrated on June 24th, is the town's patron saint, and around this date, the Pro Loco (local tourism board) organizes two weeks of events.
The heart of the festival is the Sagra dei Bucatini alla Lughese: the traditional dish is egg pasta seasoned with meat ragù, butter, and mixed highland mushrooms, recognized as a De.Co. (Denominazione Comunale - Municipal Designation) product of Lugo. The food stand offers this and other local culinary specialties.
The program unfolds throughout the entire festival period with rock concerts, band and orchestra performances, dances, evenings for young people, and sporting initiatives like the Lugo Run and Lugo Kids Run. The event is organized by the Pro Loco Lugo di Vicenza with the support of the Municipality and local associations.
