About Festival of the Smile
The feast that puts relationships at the center
The Festival of the Smile is the new name for the Sant'Anna Feast, the parish feast of one of the communities that make up the Pastoral Unit of Piove di Sacco, in the province of Padua. The name, chosen by the Pastoral Unit, reflects the spirit of the event: a celebration that aims to strengthen relationships and offer opportunities for meeting and reflection for everyone.
