About Mushroom Festival of San Michele
The San Michele District Festival
The San Michele district, in Bassano del Grappa (province of Vicenza), annually celebrates its patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel (September 29th), with the traditional Mushroom Festival. For a few days, the community comes alive with cultural, sporting, musical, and gastronomic events.
The Porcini Mushroom Takes Center Stage
