Oratorio in Festa a Mozzo

The Mozzo Oratory Festival

Every year, between late May and mid-June, the San Giovanni Battista Oratory in Mozzo, a municipality west of Bergamo, experiences its most festive moment with Oratorio in Festa. For about two weeks, the oratory becomes the beating heart of the village's social life, with a program that blends good food, music, and fun for all ages.

Food, Music, and Tombola

The common thread of the event is conviviality. The food stand offers traditional dishes every evening, while the schedule alternates evenings of live music with bands, the unmissable tombola (a traditional Italian lottery game), and numerous initiatives designed for children and families. It's a festival run by volunteers for the community, attracting residents and visitors from neighboring towns night after night.

A Prelude to the Patronal Feast

Oratorio in Festa takes place in the weeks leading up to the patronal feast of San Giovanni Battista, celebrated on June 24th, of which it is, in a sense, the popular and community prelude. In a municipality like Mozzo in the Province of Bergamo, the oratory remains the hub of community life, and this festival is its most vibrant expression: an opportunity to come together, support educational activities, and renew the sense of community.
