Festa di San Martino a Corzano

Saint Martin in the Terre Basse

In Corzano, a municipality in the Bassa bresciana area of the province of Brescia, the Festa di San Martino is one of the most beloved autumn events. Linked to the figure of the patron saint, Saint Martin, celebrated on November 11th, the festival enlivens the town centre on a Sunday dedicated to flavours, tradition, and cheer, as part of the Terre Basse in Festa calendar.

Market and autumn flavours

The heart of the festival are the numerous stalls with typical products and local food and wine offerings, transforming the town's streets into a large open-air market. The stars of autumn are present: roasted chestnuts and hot mulled wine, perfect for the season, accompanied by the food tent and street food.

Music, cheer, and novelties

The day is marked by music and entertainment, with a convivial atmosphere that draws visitors from neighbouring towns. Among the novelties of recent editions, the presence of a hot air balloon to admire the area's panorama from above, adding a spectacular touch to the festival. A mix of tradition and original offerings makes the event always lively.

A community festival

The Festa di San Martino in Corzano is an example of a village festival that combines the patronal and popular dimensions, promoting local products and activities. Organized by local entities of the Terre Basse, it is the Sunday when Corzano comes together to celebrate its patron saint and bid farewell to autumn, in the province of Brescia.
