The patronal festival of Maerne between faith, barbecue, and music
In Maerne di Martellago, in the province of Venice, the patronal festival is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th. The Festa di San Pietro is the time when the community gathers around its church and Piazzale IV Novembre, the heart of the town, for days of conviviality that intertwine the religious and popular dimensions.
The solemn moment is the mass led by the parish choir, but the festival truly comes alive in the evening when the food stand opens. Grilled meat, sandwiches, and traditional Venetian dishes attract families and young people, while music accompanies the evenings under the summer sky.
Organized by the Parish of Maerne with the support of volunteers and local sponsors, the Festa di San Pietro is an annual event that renews the deep bond between the community, its parish, and the traditions of the Venetian mainland.
The 2026 festival takes place in the days around the feast of Saints Peter and Paul (June 29th), in Piazzale IV Novembre in Maerne. The program alternates the religious dimension—with the solemn mass led by the parish choir—with the convivial one, with the food stand opening from 6:30 PM, grilled meat, sandwiches, and evening music. The organization is handled by the Parish of Maerne.
The detailed day-by-day schedule is released by the Parish of Maerne closer to the festival.
