Festival of the Assumption of Mary
The historic parish festival of Campolongo Maggiore with music, dancing, and gastronomy
About Festival of the Assumption of Mary
Half a century of celebration in the heart of the Riviera del Brenta
With its 56 editions, the Festival of the Assumption of Mary is one of the most deeply rooted parish festivals in the Venetian hinterland. In Campolongo Maggiore (province of Venice), it marks the transition from spring to summer with a program that, for almost two weeks, fills the festival area with music and culinary aromas.
Music, dancing, and much more
The program is the real strong point: ballroom dancing evenings, concerts, tribute bands, DJ sets, and revivals of music from the '70s, '80s, and '90s, interspersed with events dedicated to sports and the community. For the little ones, there's the funfair, while every evening (and Sunday lunch too) the food stand offers traditional Venetian specialties.
A tradition that unites the village
Organized by the parish of the Assumption of Mary thanks to the work of many volunteers, the festival is an identity-defining event for Campolongo Maggiore and the surrounding municipalities of the Riviera del Brenta. The grand finale is entrusted, as tradition dictates, to the fireworks display.
