Festival of Saint Anthony of Padua

The patronal feast of Brembilla in Val Brembana

The Festival of Saint Anthony of Padua is the patronal feast of Brembilla, in the municipality of Val Brembilla in the province of Bergamo, in the heart of Val Brembana. Organized by Pro Loco Val Brembilla, it unfolds over four evenings and culminates on Sunday with the celebrations dedicated to the patron saint.

Four evenings of alpine cuisine and entertainment

The heart of the festival is the Expo Pavilion on Via Donizetti, where alpine cuisine with the typical dishes of the Brembilla tradition is served every evening. Alongside the gastronomy, the program offers evenings of music and entertainment for all tastes: from the clown-magician's show to DJ sets, to concerts by cover bands. On Sundays, in addition to the usual lunch, the patronal celebrations take place, with the religious dimension intertwined with the popular one.

A solidarity feast for the territory

The Festival of Saint Anthony is not just a moment of conviviality: the proceeds of the event are donated to the Wildfire Volunteers (VAB), in support of the protection of the mountain territory. It is this spirit of solidarity, combined with its strong roots in local tradition, that makes the festival one of the most anticipated events of the summer in Val Brembana, attracting visitors from all over the valley.
