Festa Patronale dei Santi Nazaro e Celso

Bussero and its Patrons

The Festa Patronale dei Santi Nazaro e Celso is the most important event in Bussero, a municipality in the province of Milan in the Vimercatese-Martesana area. The festival is dedicated to the two martyrs Nazaro and Celso, patrons of the village and titulars of the parish church, and is traditionally celebrated on the last Monday of July.

Between Liturgy and Community

The heart of the festival lies in its religious dimension: solemn liturgical celebrations, processions, and moments of prayer that animate the parish church of Saints Nazaro and Celso. The parish, together with the San Luigi Gonzaga oratory, organizes community events during the festival days that involve families, young people, and adults, making the village atmosphere particularly vibrant.

A Tradition that Marks the Year

The Festa dei Santi Nazaro e Celso is one of the moments that best tells the identity of Bussero: an occasion where faith in the patron saints merges with community life, through religious celebrations, oratory activities, and moments of conviviality. A recurring event that for generations has renewed the village's bond with its roots and its patrons.
