About Oratory Festival

Every spring, the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory in Osio Sotto, in the province of Bergamo, transforms into the heart of village life with its historic festival, now in its fortieth edition. For about ten days, there are evening shows, food and drinks, craft beer and cocktails, bouncy castles for children, tombola (bingo), and a lottery. A community event that brings families and young people together in the period between late May and early June.

The historic Oratory festival

The Oratory Festival is one of the most deeply rooted traditions of Osio Sotto, a town in the Bassa Bergamasca region, in the province of Bergamo. Organized by the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory, located on Via Sant'Alessandro, it has surpassed forty editions and has been the main spring festival event in the town for decades.

Ten days of evenings

The event spans approximately ten days, usually between late May and early June. The evenings follow a consolidated rhythm: food and bar from 6:30 PM, craft beer, cocktails, and aperitifs from 7:00 PM, bouncy castles for children from 8:00 PM, live shows and events from 8:45 PM, and tombola and lottery from 9:00 PM.

A festival for the whole community

The Oratory Festival is, above all, a moment of gathering: families, young people, and children meet in the oratory spaces for dinner, games, and shows. It is made possible by the work of parish volunteers and remains one of the most cherished events on the Osio Sotto calendar.

Oratory Festival — edition 2026

The Oratory Festival returns to Osio Sotto in 2026, faithful to the spring appointment of the San Giovanni Bosco Oratory. As per tradition, the festival lasts about ten days, with evening shows, food and drinks, craft beer, bouncy castles for children, tombola, and a lottery.
