About Festa di San Bartolomeo
The patron saint of Barzago
The Festa Patronale di San Bartolomeo celebrates the patron saint of Barzago, a town in the Brianza region, province of Lecco. The liturgical feast day of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle falls on August 24th, and the celebrations, spread over several days between late August and early September, are centered around this date.
Between liturgy and village festival
The religious heart of the festival is the solemn Mass on Sunday, accompanied by a procession and a brass band. Surrounding this is a rich popular program: evenings of music and karaoke, group dancing, traditional cuisine, entertainment for children, and craft markets and a funfair.
Traditions and flavors of Brianza
The festival is also an opportunity to rediscover local traditions and regional flavors, with aperitifs featuring salami and fried gnocco, watermelon parties, and convivial moments. Animated by the pastoral community and the associations of Barzago, the Festa di San Bartolomeo is one of the most anticipated events in the town's calendar, in the heart of Lecco's Brianza.
