The festival of the hillside hamlet of Leffe
The Festività Monte Croce is the festival of the hillside hamlet of Monte Croce, above Leffe, a municipality in the Val Seriana in the Province of Bergamo. It is held at the end of August and represents one of the events that close the Leffe summer, in a panoramic setting overlooking the valley.
The festival combines the religious and devotional dimension with the popular one. During the festival days, the hamlet comes alive with the fair, stalls selling sweets and toys, gastronomic stands with typical cuisine, and the social moments that characterise traditional Bergamo village festivals.
Among the most anticipated moments is the traditional fireworks display, which lights up the sky above Monte Croce and the valley. It is the seal of a festival that, despite its intimate and hamlet-based dimension, retains the charm of popular celebrations of the past.
