About Pilastro Festival
The Pilastro Festival
The Festival of Saint Mary Help of Christians is held in the hamlet of Pilastro, a small village between the municipalities of Orgiano and Sossano, in the Berici Hills, province of Vicenza. It is one of the best-known festivals in the area for its long tradition of dancing evenings.
Eight Evenings of Dancing
The heart of the festival are the eight dancing evenings with 'liscio' orchestras and DJs, which liven up the area around the parish church of Saint Mary Help of Christians, on Via Pilastro. An anticipated occasion for dance enthusiasts in the Veneto region, in an atmosphere that combines the religious dimension of the patronal feast with the popular one.
Gastronomy and Tradition
There is also a gastronomic stand with dishes from Venetian cuisine, a convivial meeting point for families and visitors. The Pilastro Festival remains an event rooted in the identity of this corner of the Berici Hills, between Orgiano and Sossano.
