Festival of Our Lady of the Rosary
Religious and village festival with procession, pumpkin risotto, and funfair
About Festival of the Rosary
A festival of faith and community
The Festival of Our Lady of the Rosary is the autumn event in Linarolo, a municipality in the province of Pavia located in the plain southeast of the provincial capital. The festival, linked to the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, intertwines the religious dimension with the popular one and takes place every October between Piazza Dante and Via Matteotti.
Religious moments
The common thread remains devotion: the Holy Rosary, the Holy Mass, and the procession with the gathered community mark the days, up to the mass in suffrage for the deceased faithful. The village festival develops around these moments.
Flavors, markets, and fun
The festival features markets and stalls from local sports clubs, a photographic exhibition in the Council Hall, pumpkin risotto served at midday, a children's market, shows, and creative workshops at Cascina Vallidone, and an apericena at the ARCI Club. For the little ones, a charity raffle in the oratory and a funfair in Via San Leonardo are set up.
Three days of celebration
The event spans several days, from Saturday to Monday, and involves the parish, the oratory, and the village associations. It is a moment of identity for Linarolo and the Pavese plain, where the patronal festival remains one of the most cherished occasions of the autumn.
