Festa Patronale di Ponte Selva

A Hamlet Festival in Val Seriana

The Festa Patronale di Ponte Selva is the summer event that enlivens the hamlet of Ponte Selva, belonging to the municipality of Parre, in Val Seriana, province of Bergamo. The festival is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and represents one of the most heartfelt moments of the year for the small community of the hamlet, located along the Serio river valley.

Around the Oratory

The heart of the festival is the Oratory of Ponte Selva, around which the festival evenings take place. Alongside the religious celebrations in honour of the patron saint, the programme includes convivial moments with gastronomic and musical evenings, generally from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. It is an opportunity for the community to come together and for visitors to discover the genuine hospitality of the small towns in Val Seriana.

Between Faith and Community

Like many patronal festivals in the towns of Bergamo, that of Ponte Selva intertwines devotion to the Sacred Heart with the popular and convivial dimension. It does not focus on large numbers but on authenticity: it is the festival of a hamlet that recognises itself in its traditions and welcomes with simplicity those who choose to participate, in the heart of the province of Bergamo.
