Festa Patronale Natività di Maria Vergine

The patron saint's festival of Cabiate

The Festival of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the festival of the patron saint of Cabiate, a municipality in the province of Como, in the heart of Brianza. The patron saint, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is celebrated on September 8th, the date around which both the religious celebrations in the parish and the town's grand civic festival revolve.

Cabiate in Festa

Alongside the devotional aspect is Cabiate in Festa, the community event that enlivens the town center and city parks. The program is rich and varied: games and inflatables for children, markets and stalls for hobbyists, catering provided by the Gruppo Alpini (Alpine Group), dancing evenings, and entertainment for all ages.

Traditions and sport

Among the most characteristic events are the vintage car parades, sports and martial arts demonstrations, civic merit awards, and the traditional 'Cursa cun la Cadrega', the 'race with a chair' which has become a symbol of the Cabiate festival and harks back to the town's roots, historically linked to furniture and chair production.

A festival for the whole community

Free and spread across the squares, parks, and parish church, the Patron Saint Festival of Cabiate is the most important event of the year for the town: an occasion that combines faith, tradition, sport, and conviviality, capable of involving families, young people, and the elderly and strengthening the identity of the Como Brianza community.
