About Festa di Sant'Andrea
The patronal festival of Carugate
The Feast of Saint Andrew and Saint Marcellina is the patronal festival of Carugate, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan. It is celebrated every year on the third Sunday of September and is dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle, the patron of the parish, and to Saint Marcellina, the elder sister of Saint Ambrose and a figure linked to Milan's religious history.
Between parish and community
The festival intertwines the religious dimension - the celebrations in the parish of Saint Andrew the Apostle - with the civic and community dimension, enlivened by the Municipality and local organisations. It is a keenly felt event, where Carugate comes together in its centre to celebrate the patron saint's day.
A tradition linked to Saint Ambrose
The presence of Saint Marcellina among the patrons links Carugate to the Ambrosian tradition: sister of Saint Ambrose, bishop and patron saint of Milan, Marcellina is remembered as a key figure of the early Milanese Church. For those familiar with the north-eastern hinterland of Milan, the patronal festival is an opportunity to rediscover Carugate's village identity.
Festa di Sant'Andrea — edition 2026
For 2026 too, Carugate celebrates its patronal festival dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle and Saint Marcellina on the third Sunday of September. The Municipality and the parish of Saint Andrew the Apostle will release the detailed programme - schedules of celebrations and civic initiatives - in the weeks leading up to the festival.
