About Festa di San Bartolomeo

At the end of August, Lavenone, a municipality in the Alta Valle Sabbia (Upper Sabbia Valley) in the Province of Brescia, celebrates its patron saint, Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, with a multi-day festival. Organized by the Municipality with Pro Loco, AIB (local volunteer fire brigade), and the parish, the patronal festival combines religious moments with a convivial atmosphere, featuring food, music, and shows, and is one of the town's most cherished events.

Lavenone celebrates Saint Bartholomew

Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, commemorated on August 24th, is the patron saint of Lavenone, a municipality in the Alta Valle Sabbia in the Province of Brescia. Every year, on the days around the commemoration, the town dedicates its patronal festival to him, organized by the municipal administration together with Pro Loco, AIB, and the parish.

Between faith and community celebration

The festival combines the religious dimension—linked to the parish of Saint Bartholomew, in the Alta Valle Sabbia area of the Diocese of Brescia—with a more festive one, with food, music, and shows animating the town for several days. It is an occasion for residents to gather and a draw for visitors to the valley.
