Festa Patronale di Lodetto - San Giovanni Battista

St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Lodetto

Among the hamlets of the Municipality of Rovato, in the province of Brescia, Lodetto has its patron saint in St. John the Baptist, whose feast day falls on June 24th. The parish of the hamlet is dedicated to the Baptist, and around this anniversary, the patronal festival, one of the most heartfelt events of the local community, takes place.

Traditionally, the celebrations focus on the weekend near June 24th and are held at the Oratorio di Lodetto, in via Sciotta. This choice, since the 2000s, has led the festival to be held in the oratory, the heart of the hamlet's community life.

Festival of faith and village

The patronal festival of Lodetto combines religious celebrations in honor of St. John the Baptist with more popular and convivial moments. The oratory comes alive with the food stands, Brescian music, dancing, games, and inflatables for children, in a festive atmosphere that involves all ages. It is the classic parish village festival, where the community gathers to share evenings of tradition.

Lodetto and Franciacorta

Lodetto is one of the hamlets of Rovato, a town at the foot of Monte Orfano, the gateway to Lombardy's Franciacorta. The festival of St. John the Baptist is an opportunity to discover the most authentic and intimate soul of this territory, where the festivals of the hamlets preserve traditions and community bonds passed down from generation to generation.
