Arre celebrates its patron saint, Maria Santissima Assunta, on Ferragosto
The Festa Patronale di Maria SS. Assunta is the most important event in the religious calendar of Arre, a municipality in the Bassa Padovana area in the province of Padova, in the Conselvano region. The patron saint of the town is indeed Maria Santissima Assunta, to whom the parish church in Piazza Arzenton, the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta, is dedicated.
The festival takes place around August 15th, the day of the Assumption of Mary, one of the most cherished Marian solemnities in Italian Catholic tradition. The central moment is the solemn Holy Mass celebrated in the parish church, around which the community of Arre gathers to honour its patron saint. The recurrence is an occasion for popular devotion but also for the town to come together, strengthening bonds around the parish in the heart of the Venetian summer.
As in many towns in the Padovano area, the patronal festival marks a fixed and identifying event for Arre, where religious roots merge with the community dimension. It is an opportunity to discover the authenticity of a village in the Venetian plain, where the traditions of Ferragosto and Marian devotion continue to mark the life of the town.
The 2026 edition of the Festa Patronale di Maria SS. Assunta in Arre celebrates, as every year around August 15th, the town's patron saint. The heart of the recurrence is the solemn Holy Mass at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Piazza Arzenton, a moment of devotion and gathering for the community of the Conselvano area. The detailed civil and religious program is defined by the parish church closer to the festival.
The detailed program of the 2026 festivities will be published by the parish of Arre closer to the recurrence. The central moment remains the solemn Holy Mass on the day of the Assumption, August 15th, at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta.
Arre is located about 25 km south of Padova, reachable via the provincial road to Conselve. The festival takes place at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, in Piazza Arzenton.
Around August 15th, the day of the Assumption. Religious celebrations with free admission.
