Lovara's krapfen and Saint Peter's feast in the Vicenza hills
About Lovara Festival
The Lovara Festival
In Lovara di Trissino, a hilly hamlet of the municipality of Trissino in the province of Vicenza, the Lovara Festival is held concurrently with the feast of Saint Peter the Apostle, on the last two weekends of June. It is one of the most deeply rooted festivals in the Vicenza hills, reaching its 48th edition in 2026.
Krapfen, the festival's specialty
The true symbol of the festival is the krapfen, prepared according to tradition, soft and delicious, served on Saturdays and Sundays from 5:30 PM. Over the years, they have become the gastronomic attraction that identifies Lovara and draws visitors from all over the Agno Valley.
Food stand, concerts, and exhibitions
The food stand is open from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM with traditional Vicenza dishes. Alongside the dining, the program offers concerts, performances, exhibitions, and shows, as well as a painting competition designed to showcase the landscape characteristics of the hilly area.
A community festival in the hills
Nestled in a charming hilly landscape, the Lovara Festival is an event of strong identity for Trissino: it combines the religious dimension of Saint Peter's feast with popular conviviality, flavors, and art, on some evenings at the end of June that mark the beginning of summer in Trissino.
