About Festival of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
A devotion spanning over three centuries
The Festival of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is held in Campolongo sul Brenta, a hamlet of the scattered municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza. The local church was dedicated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and, for over 350 years, every July 16th – the day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel – the small community has celebrated its patron saint. The festival spans the central two weeks of July, intertwining moments of devotion and popular celebration.
Food stand and Venetian cuisine
From Friday to Sunday, the food stand offers traditional dishes: chicken, ribs and sausage, beans in sauce, polenta and French fries, and especially baccalà (salt cod), a characteristic product of Vicenza tradition, expertly prepared by the Pro Loco cooks.
Music, sport, and culture
The program alternates dancing evenings, concerts, sporting events, and tastings. Since 2013, Campolongo has also been one of the locations hosting performances of the prestigious Operaestate Festival Veneto from Bassano del Grappa, a sign of cultural vitality that extends beyond the hamlet's borders.
