Festival of Our Lady of the Snows in Cura Carpignano

The Patron Saint of Cura Carpignano

Our Lady of the Snows is the patron saint of Cura Carpignano, a municipality in the Province of Pavia just a few kilometers from the provincial capital. Her feast day, August 5th, is the occasion for the most important festival of the year: the Festival of Our Lady of the Snows, held at Parco Poma, in front of the town's school.

Three Evenings at Parco Poma

The festival spans several evenings of celebration. The program combines live music, with concerts and cover bands, with gastronomic offerings prepared by volunteers, in an atmosphere of conviviality typical of Lombard village festivals. There is also an area dedicated to children, making the event suitable for all ages.

Craft Market and Fireworks

Among the most anticipated events are the craft market, which brightens one of the evenings, and especially the grand finale fireworks display, which concludes the festival by illuminating the sky above Parco Poma. It is the highlight, the moment that draws locals and visitors from neighboring towns each year.

Cura Carpignano and the Pavese Region

The festival is organized by the Pro Loco with the patronage of the Municipality, representing the associative fabric that keeps community life alive in the small towns of the Pavese region. Experiencing the festival is also a way to discover an authentic corner of Lombardy, amidst the countryside south of Pavia, far from the main tourist routes.
