About Festa di San Rocco
The patronal festival of Canegrate
The Festa di San Rocco is the patronal festival of Canegrate, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Alto Milanese area, along the Olona river. The celebrations are concentrated in August around two close anniversaries: Maria SS. Assunta, on August 15, and San Rocco, on August 16.
Religion and community
The festival intertwines the religious dimension - the celebrations in honor of the Virgin Assunta and San Rocco, among the most venerated saints in Lombard popular tradition - with the civil and community one. It is an event that, in the height of summer, brings the village together and renews its identity.
San Rocco in popular tradition
San Rocco, invoked as a protector against epidemics, is the patron saint of numerous towns in northern Italy, and his festival on August 16 has for centuries been one of the most heartfelt events of popular devotion. In Canegrate, his anniversary, combined with the solemnity of the Assumption, marks the heart of the town's summer. For those familiar with the Alto Milanese area, the patronal festival is an opportunity to discover the village dimension of Canegrate.
