Patronal Feast of Lodetto - Saint John the Baptist

Saint John the Baptist, Patron Saint of Lodetto

Among the hamlets of the Municipality of Rovato, in the province of Brescia, Lodetto has its patron saint in Saint John the Baptist, whose feast day falls on June 24th. The parish of the hamlet is dedicated to the Baptist, and the patronal feast, one of the most cherished events of the local community, revolves around this anniversary.

Traditionally, the celebrations focus on the weekend near June 24th and take place at the Lodetto Oratory, on Via Sciotta. This choice, since the 2000s, has led the feast to be held in the oratory, the heart of the hamlet's community life.

The patronal feast of Lodetto combines religious celebrations in honor of Saint John the Baptist with more popular and convivial moments. The oratory comes alive with the food stand, music from Brescia, dancing, games, and inflatable attractions for children, in a festive atmosphere that involves all ages. It is the classic parish village fair, where the community comes together to share evenings of tradition.
