The festival of the patron saint of the city and diocese of Treviso
Saint Liberal is the patron saint of the city and diocese of Treviso, celebrated every year on April 27th. A soldier who became a saint according to tradition, he is a figure deeply rooted in the identity of the Marca Trevigiana, also venerated in Castelfranco Veneto. The festival is one of the most heartfelt events in the city's calendar.
The central moment is the solemn Eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral (the Church of Saint Peter the Apostle), presided over by the Bishop of Treviso in the presence of civil authorities. During the Mass, significant moments of diocesan life are renewed, in an event that unites the religious community and city institutions.
Around the liturgical celebration, the day of Saint Liberal offers cultural meetings, extraordinary openings of churches and museums, and guided tours of the symbolic places of the historic center, such as the Church of Saint Francis and the Baptistery of Saint John the Baptist. The festival, recognized as a city holiday, is an opportunity to rediscover the historical and spiritual heritage of Treviso and its diocese.
The 2026 edition of the Festival of Saint Liberal, patron saint of Treviso, had its central moment in the solemn Eucharistic celebration in the Cathedral, presided over by Bishop Michele Tomasi at 6:30 PM in the presence of civil authorities. During the Mass, the diocesan pastoral cooperators renewed their promises. The day also offered a cultural meeting in the Cathedral's oratory and, in the afternoon, guided tours of the Church of Saint Francis and the Baptistery of Saint John the Baptist.
The Treviso Cathedral is located in Piazza Duomo, in the historic center, a short distance from Treviso Centrale station. The city is reachable by car from the A27 and A4 motorways.
The celebration in the Cathedral and religious initiatives are free to enter; some extraordinary openings of museums and churches may be free on the day of the festival.
