About Festival of Saint Anthony

In Cortenuova Sopra, a hamlet of Martinengo in the Bergamo plain, the Festival of Saint Anthony closes the summer with two weekends of festivities at the sports field in Via Cortenuova. Table service, a beer garden, live music, tombola, and inflatables for the little ones mark the evenings, with the kitchen open every evening and also for lunch on Sundays. A village event that draws residents from the hamlet and surrounding towns.

A Village Festival in the Bergamo Plain

The Festival of Saint Anthony enlivens Cortenuova Sopra every year, a small hamlet in the municipality of Martinengo, in the plain of the province of Bergamo. It is one of those village festivals that mark the end of summer: people gather at the sports field in Via Cortenuova for dinner, sit at outdoor tables, and chat until late in the evening between courses.

Two Weekends of Festivities

The event traditionally takes place over two consecutive weekends, straddling the last weekend of August and the first of September. The kitchen is open every evening and, on Sundays, also for lunch. Alongside table service, there is a beer garden, while live music accompanies the evenings.

For Families

The festival does not forget the little ones: inflatables and games liven up the sports field, while the classic tombola brings together adults and children around the bingo cards. It is the typical atmosphere of village festivals in the lower Bergamo area, where the hamlet of Cortenuova Sopra reunites its community around the table and devotion to Saint Anthony.

Where it Takes Place

Everything is concentrated at the sports field in Via Cortenuova, in the heart of the hamlet. Martinengo, a walled village of medieval origin, is a few kilometers away and easily accessible from the road network of the lower Bergamo area.

Festival of Saint Anthony — edition 2026

The Festival of Saint Anthony returns to Cortenuova Sopra in 2026, faithful to its late-summer appointment. As tradition dictates, the festival is spread over two weekends, with food, a beer garden, live music, and entertainment for children at the sports field in Via Cortenuova. The precise dates and detailed program will be released by the organizers closer to the event.
