About Festival of Saint John
The Festival of San Giovanni di Livenza
The Festival of Saint John the Baptist is the celebration of the hamlet of San Giovanni di Livenza, in Motta di Livenza, province of Treviso. For several days in June, the community comes together for a grand village festival that blends religious tradition, gastronomy, and live music.
The Food Stand
The heart of the festival is the abundant food stand, open in the evenings with table service: specialties include large steaks, grilled meats, salted cod, frogs, and fried calamari, all accompanied by a well-stocked wine bar. It's a generous and traditional cuisine that is one of the main attractions of the festival.
Concerts and Tribute Bands
The evenings are enlivened by concerts and tribute bands dedicated to some of the most beloved music artists: Queen, Coldplay, Pooh, and Zucchero, as well as Italian rock, folk music, and ballroom dancing. Among the events, a tribute to Coldplay with lights and videos recreating the concert atmosphere. The "Artisans on the Street" initiative, featuring exhibitions and artisan creations, is also present.
The Spirit of the Village Festival
The Festival of Saint John the Baptist retains the genuine spirit of village festivals, where people gather to listen to music, socialize, and enjoy good food, rediscovering a strong sense of community. It is organized by the Pro Loco Motta di Livenza APS.
