Festival of Our Lady of the Snows of La Valle Agordina
The main summer festival of La Valle Agordina, in honor of Our Lady of the Snows
About Our Lady of the Snows
The festival of the Agordino summer
The Festival of Our Lady of the Snows is the main summer festival of La Valle Agordina, a municipality in the Agordino area, province of Belluno. It is held on the first weekend of August and revolves around the feast day of Our Lady of the Snows, celebrated on August 5th: an event that the Pro Loco La Valle Agordina has been organizing, together with the municipal administration, for over fifty years.
Between devotion and popular celebration
The religious dimension is central: the festival opens on Friday evening with the traditional chanting of solemn Vespers in honor of Our Lady and culminates on Saturday morning with the solemn Holy Mass. Alongside, however, the village festival thrives: the summer market with dozens of craft stalls, concerts, dancing evenings, the historic couples race, and popular games on Sunday morning.
The flavors of the mountains
The gastronomic stand offers traditional Dolomite specialties: grilled meats, deer ragù, spit-roasted meats, accompanied by beer and cocktails. Often, a photographic exhibition telling the history of the village provides the backdrop. For those visiting the Belluno Dolomites in summer, it is an opportunity to experience an authentic mountain festival, where faith and conviviality merge into a single community celebration.
Our Lady of the Snows — edition 2026
In 2026, La Valle Agordina will once again celebrate the Festival of Our Lady of the Snows on the first weekend of August. The village's main summer festival combines the religious dimension — the solemn Vespers and Holy Mass in honor of Our Lady of the Snows — with the popular celebration featuring a summer market, concerts, mountain gastronomy, and dancing evenings.
