About HappiNESs

HappiNESs is the late spring festival of the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory in Nese, a hamlet of Alzano Lombardo, in the province of Bergamo. A weekend of music, entertainment, and conviviality that enlivens the churchyard and the oratory spaces, designed for families and the entire community of Nese. The evenings, starting from the evening, combine gastronomic offerings, moments of play, and shows open to adults and children.

A Community Festival in Nese

HappiNESs is the event that the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory of Nese dedicates to its community every year. Nese is a hamlet of Alzano Lombardo, a municipality in the lower Valle Seriana in the province of Bergamo, and the oratory has always been one of the main meeting points in the village. For a weekend, the festival transforms the churchyard and parish spaces into a place for gathering, with music, entertainment, and offerings for families.

What to Expect

The HappiNESs evenings generally start around 7:30 PM and continue until late at night. The program alternates moments of musical entertainment, activities for children, and oratory cuisine, in an informal and family-friendly atmosphere. It is one of those village festivals that mark the calendar of the Nese community and that the Municipality of Alzano Lombardo highlights in its event schedule.

Where it Takes Place

The festival is held at the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory, located on Via Montelungo in Nese. The hamlet is easily accessible from Alzano Lombardo and Bergamo, in the early part of the Valle Seriana.
