Panoiot Festival of San Bartolomeo di Maras
The late August festival in the hamlet of Maras
About Panoiot Festival
The Festival of Maras
The Panoiot Festival is the traditional celebration of the hamlet of Maras, in the Municipality of Sospirolo (province of Belluno), linked to the feast day of San Bartolomeo (August 24th). For a few days at the end of August, the small community transforms into a lively stage for games, food, and music, organized by the San Bartolomeo Committee.
Good Food, Walks, and Vespas
The food stand, open in the evenings from 7 PM, mainly offers a fish menu – from lasagna with shrimp and zucchini to mixed fried fish – alongside traditional local dishes, with evenings of entertainment and music. The program alternates different moments: evenings with DJs and live music, a guided walk on the trails of the Sospirolese foothills (in collaboration with the Mountain Study Center and walking groups), and the "Il Panoiot in Vespa" event with the Vespa Club Belluno.
Memory and Community
The festival is not just about celebration: some initiatives, such as the evening walk dedicated to the memory of the Great War in the hamlet of Maras, intertwine conviviality with the rediscovery of local history. It is a fine example of how the festivals in the hamlets of Valbelluna manage to combine gastronomy, nature, memory, and social interaction, also enhancing the smaller villages in the municipality of Sospirolo.
