About Festival of Saint Augustine

At the beginning of September, Pernumia, a town in the Bassa Padovana region at the foot of the Euganean Hills, celebrates its Festival of Saint Augustine. Organized by Pro Loco Pernumia together with the Municipality and the parish, it is the town's end-of-summer celebration: a food stall with traditional Venetian dishes, dancing evenings with orchestras and DJs, a charity raffle, tombola, a funfair, and a fireworks display. A popular event that has brought the community together for generations before the return of autumn.

The patronal feast of Pernumia

The Festival of Saint Augustine is the end-of-summer celebration in Pernumia, a town in the Bassa Padovana region in the province of Padova. An annual event traditionally held at the beginning of September, it is organized by Pro Loco Pernumia in collaboration with the Municipality and the parish, and it blends the religious aspect of the patronal feast with the popular and convivial nature of a village festival.

Gastronomy, dancing, and fun

The heart of the festival is the food stall, serving traditional Venetian dishes every evening. The evenings are enlivened by orchestras and DJs for dancing, while a charity raffle, tombola, and a funfair for the little ones revolve around the festivities. There is also a fireworks display, an unmissable moment of Venetian festivals.

A community tradition

More than just a gastronomic event, the Festival of Saint Augustine is an identity-building occasion for Pernumia: the moment when the town comes together at the end of summer, to the sound of orchestras and the aroma from the food stall. A celebration that captures the spirit of the communities of the Bassa Padovana, combining faith, tradition, and the desire to be together.

Pernumia and the Euganean Hills

Located between Monselice and Battaglia Terme, Pernumia is a good starting point for exploring the Euganean Hills, the spas of Abano and Montegrotto, and the walled villages of the Paduan plain. The festival is an opportunity to combine the discovery of the territory with the authentic hospitality of the Venetian Pro Loco associations.
