Ten days of patronal feast in honor of Saint Stephen, in the Bassa bergamasca
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.
The festival combines the religious dimension — with mass and procession in honor of the patron saint — with the more convivial aspect of the village feast. The evenings are enlivened by typical cuisine, music, tombola, and entertainment that involve the entire community and visitors from neighboring towns. It is an event that has marked the summer of this corner of the Bergamo plain for years.
