About Patronal Feast
The Patron Saint of Olmeneta
The Patronal Feast of Olmeneta, in the province of Cremona, is the celebration with which the town honours its patron saint, Saint John the Baptist, to whom the parish church is dedicated. The feast is traditionally held on the third Sunday of May, anticipating the saint's liturgical feast day (June 24th) with a deeply felt community event.
A Village Feast
The feast enlivens the village with its stalls and festive moments, in a tradition that combines commercial, religious, and community aspects. It is an occasion for Olmeneta to come together, amidst celebrations in honour of the patron saint and the conviviality of the village feast, in the heart of the Cremona countryside.
Amidst the Plains' Countryside
Olmeneta is a small municipality in the plain between Cremona and Crema, where life flows to the rhythm of the agricultural seasons. The patronal feast is one of the events that mark the local calendar, an occasion that keeps alive the community's bond with its roots and its patron saint, in a corner of the Lombardy Po Valley.
