The Patron Saint's Feast in Marca Trevigiana

June 24th is the day of Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of Istrana, a municipality in the province of Treviso in the heart of Marca Trevigiana. Around this date, the community gathers for the village festival, a patronal feast that intertwines the religious and popular dimensions, following a tradition widespread throughout Veneto.

Flavors, Music, and Fun

For a few days, the center of Istrana hosts the food and wine stand with traditional Venetian dishes, the funfair with its rides, the classic charity raffle, and a schedule of evenings dedicated to live music and shows. There are also moments of entertainment for children, making the festival an event suitable for the whole family.

A Community Celebration
