Novembrina Festival of Vescovato
The autumn festival of San Leonardo, blending culture, history, and gastronomy
About Novembrina Festival
The Festival of San Leonardo in Vescovato
The Novembrina Festival is the autumn celebration of Vescovato, a municipality in the province of Cremona, linked to the feast day of the patron saint San Leonardo (November 6th). Organized by the Pro Loco of Vescovato, it spans four days, from Thursday to Sunday, and combines religious observance with a rich and varied program.
Culture, History, and Gastronomy
The festival offers cultural moments—such as book presentations and dialect comedy—alongside entertainment and culinary initiatives: the evening aperitif, evenings with a DJ, the vintage car and motorcycle exhibition, the market in the square, the miniature train for a tour of the town, and fairground rides for the little ones. A schedule designed for all ages.
The "Vescovatino dell'anno" Award
Among the most heartfelt moments is the presentation of the "Vescovatino dell'anno" award, with which the community recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in service and commitment to the town. The Novembrina Festival is thus, at the same time, a popular celebration, a cultural event, and an occasion for collective identity in the heart of the province of Cremona.
