About Festival of Fara Olivana

The Festival of Fara Olivana is the grand patronal feast of Fara Olivana con Sola, a small municipality in the Bassa bergamasca. Between the end of July and the beginning of August, for about ten days, the town celebrates its patron saint Stephen with typical cuisine, music, tombola, and community gatherings. The religious celebration, with mass and procession, intertwines with the convivial atmosphere of the village festival, in one of the most cherished events of the summer for the community of Fara Olivana.

The Festival of Fara Olivana is the patronal feast of Fara Olivana con Sola, a small municipality in the Bassa bergamasca, in the province of Bergamo. The event takes place every year between the end of July and the beginning of August, for about ten days, and is dedicated to the patron saint Saint Stephen.
