Longhi Festival of Pedemonte

A District Festival Between Veneto and Trentino

The Festa ai Longhi is the traditional festival of the district of the same name in Pedemonte, a small municipality in the province of Vicenza nestled in the Valdastico, bordering Trentino. The event, in honor of the Madonna, is celebrated between the end of April and May 1st around the small Longhi church, the spiritual heart of the community.

Devotion and Conviviality

The festival intertwines the religious moment, linked to the district's small church, with the convivial dimension of a village fair. The food stand opens for lunch and dinner on May 1st, offering traditional Vicenza dishes, while games and social moments follow throughout the festival.

Games and Entertainment for Everyone

Among the most popular events are foosball, ping pong, and entertainment dedicated to children, making the Festa ai Longhi a gathering occasion for families. The organization is entrusted to the Pro Loco of Pedemonte together with the Comitato Pro Chiesetta Longhi, who have been preserving this district tradition for years.

Pedemonte and Valdastico

Pedemonte is situated in a picturesque location at the entrance of the Valdastico, amidst the pre-Alpine hills of Vicenza. The festival, far from mass tourist circuits, offers an authentic glimpse into the life of mountain districts in Veneto, where religious and community celebrations still mark the calendar.
