About Natività di Maria Gorle
Gorle and the Nativity of Mary
The Municipality of Gorle, on the outskirts of Bergamo along the Serio river, dedicates its patronal festival to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, celebrated on September 8th. The town's parish church is named precisely after the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, and the community's most cherished festival revolves around this devotion.
Mass and Procession
The religious heart of the festival is the solemn holy mass, celebrated in the parish church on the morning of September 8th, at 10:00 AM. At the end of the celebration, a procession winds through the town's streets, a moment of strong popular participation that renews the community's bond with its patron saint each year.
Community Festival
Alongside the religious celebrations, Gorle's patronal festival is enriched with moments of gathering: on the days dedicated to the solemnity, there are food stalls at the sports centre, evenings with a restaurant and pizzeria, and cultural and musical offerings open to all citizens. It is an event that, in a town in the first belt of Bergamo often experienced as a residential area, brings back the sense of community.
