About Sagra dei Bucatini alla Lughese

The Festa di San Giovanni Battista is the patronal sagra (traditional festival) of Lugo di Vicenza, which every June transforms the Multi-purpose Platform in Viale Divisione Julia into a long event of music, sport, and gastronomy. The signature dish is the one that gives the sagra its name: bucatini alla lughese, egg pasta with meat ragù, butter, and mixed highland mushrooms, recognized as a De.Co. (Municipal Designation) product of the town.

The patron saint's festival

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.
