Festeggiamenti di Santa Augusta
The centuries-old fair of Serravalle in honour of Saint Augusta, between faith, tradition, and the famous "foghi"
About Santa Augusta
The festival of Serravalle
The Festeggiamenti di Santa Augusta are the most beloved popular festival in Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso, and take place in the historic village of Serravalle. The event celebrates Saint Augusta, patron saint of the village and second patron saint of the diocese of Vittorio Veneto, whose sanctuary overlooks the town from the top of the hill. It is a "centuries-old fair" that blends religious devotion, popular tradition, and entertainment.
Six days of events
The programme, spread over about six days in mid-August, offers a funfair, a children's market, evening street food, shows, concerts in the various squares of the village, book presentations at the Museo del Cenedese, and extraordinary evening openings of Palazzo Todesco. There are also liturgical celebrations in honour of the saint and guided tours on the legend of Saint Augusta.
The Parade and the "foghi"
The heart of the festival is the evening of August 21st, with the traditional Parata di Santa Augusta, the Anguria Party in Piazza Flaminio — featuring watermelon, sangria, cocktails, and music — and above all the famous "foghi", the fireworks display (usually at midnight, postponed to the 22nd in case of bad weather) that lights up the sky of Serravalle and attracts over 30,000 spectators. For the evening, the village becomes a pedestrian zone.
