Edition 2025 — Saint Alexander

In 2025, Bergamo celebrated its patron saint Saint Alexander with masses, performances, and open museums. The solemn celebration on August 26th in the Cathedral and the fair on the Sentierone, featuring stalls and street food, animated the city during one of its most cherished identity moments of the year.

The 2025 Festival of Saint Alexander renewed the patronal tradition of the Orobic capital. The religious celebrations, including the solemn Mass on August 26th in the Cathedral and events in the Basilica, marked the day dedicated to the patron saint of the city and the Diocese.

Alongside the religious dimension, the fair on the Sentierone enlivened the lower city with stalls, street food, and performances, while museums and cultural initiatives enriched the program. An intertwining of faith, tradition, and popular festival that confirms the Festival of Saint Alexander as one of the most beloved events for the people of Bergamo.
