The festival of the Ceppine oratory
The Sant'Anna festival is the festival of the Ceppine neighbourhood, in Tradate, in the province of Varese. It takes place around the oratory and is one of the most cherished events of the Tradate summer, bringing together neighbourhood residents and visitors from surrounding areas for several days.
Between faith, food, and music
The festival combines religious and convivial moments: from celebrations and the solemn mass to the procession through the neighbourhood streets with the statue of Sant'Anna, from the food stalls with traditional dishes to evenings of live and dance music. A programme spread over a week, with events designed for all ages, from the children of the summer oratory to families.
