Edition 2025 — Patronal Feast of Montjovet

From September 4th to 14th, 2025, Montjovet hosted its Patronal Feast, the longest of the Aosta Valley summer. Between themed dinners, dances, a funfair, the Alpini day, and the First International Cup of "Profumo di Cedro" chainsaw carving, the village celebrated the Nativity of Mary with ten days of events for the entire community.

The 2025 edition of the Patronal Feast of Montjovet took place from September 4th to 14th, confirming itself as the longest of the Aosta Valley summer. A major new feature was the First International Cup "Profumo di Cedro", an international chainsaw carving competition held in the Berriat sports area, which brought together ten sculptors from around the world. Monday, September 8th, was dedicated to the Alpini, with a parade, Holy Mass, and evening dances. Throughout the days, there were themed dinners (fish, mushrooms, paella, boiled meat), dance evenings, the Belote tournament, the Palet tournament, and the funfair, in a festive atmosphere that involved the entire municipality of Montjovet, in the province of Aosta.
