Festa Patronale dei Santi Stefano e Innocenzo

The patron saints' festival of Isola del Cantone

Isola del Cantone is a village in the Valle Scrivia, in the mountainous hinterland of Genoa, in Liguria. Every August, the town celebrates its patrons, Saints Stephen and Innocent, with a festival that intertwines devotion and civil celebrations in the heart of summer.

Procession and festivities

The central moment is the procession with the patron saints, which winds through the town accompanied by the community's participation. Civil festivities, including concerts, stalls, and the unmissable fireworks display, develop around the religious celebrations.

A summer festival

The patronal festival, traditionally held on the second Sunday of August, is a gathering point for the inhabitants of Isola del Cantone and for the many holidaymakers who frequent the Valle Scrivia during the summer. Amidst music and conviviality, the village experiences one of its liveliest days of the year.

The mountainous hinterland of Genoa

Attending the festival is also an opportunity to discover Isola del Cantone and the Valle Scrivia, an area of the Genoese hinterland rich in nature and traditions, far from the coast but with a strong identity. An authentic festival in the heart of the Ligurian mountains.
