Festival of Saint Michael in the hamlet of Dal Pozzo

The feast of the Dal Pozzo hamlet

In Ceriano Laghetto, in the province of Monza and Brianza, the Dal Pozzo hamlet celebrates its patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel, every end of September with a festival that is now a historic tradition. Now in its many editions, the feast takes place around the Dal Pozzo Civic Center, on Via Carso, and culminates on September 29th, the saint's liturgical anniversary.

Faith and tradition

The religious dimension is central: the feast opens with a prayer meeting and continues with solemn masses, up to the mass for all the deceased on the concluding Monday. Sunday, the main day, begins with the morning mass, in an alternation of moments of reflection and celebration that is the hallmark of Brianza's patronal feasts.

Gastronomy, dancing, and fun

Alongside the moment of faith, the festival offers a rich popular program: the food stand, dancing evenings with group dances and Latin American music, sports demonstrations — such as kickboxing — and charity fishing. There are also games for children, in a festive atmosphere that involves all generations of the hamlet and the town.

A community that comes together

The Festival of Saint Michael is the moment when the Dal Pozzo hamlet gathers around its traditions. Organized with the involvement of the Municipality of Ceriano Laghetto and local entities, the feast represents an identity event for the community, which every autumn renews the bond with its patron saint and with the typical village spirit of Brianza.
